speaking of scabbards

[Sir Wolf]

can you guys post pics of the backside of your scabbards? i wanted to see how they were laced up.

[Sir James A]

I spoke with my scabbards, and they are uncomfortable having their backsides photographed.

Perhaps I can sneak some pictures later..

[Lord Dane]

My wife got mad last time she caught me with the backside of my scabbard exposed. Guess I must exercise more prudence in who's company I unsheath my blade.  Photo ops are not doable in such circumstances. On a serious note, mine are all leather bound by ties in a criss-crossed pattern from tip to hilt.   

[Sir Brian]

I'll get some posted of my scabbard. 

btw Sir Wolf did you get my PM? 

[Sir Edward]

I don't have any photos handy. I'll try to remember to take some. The ones I have from DBK have a spiral stitch, and the ones from CF have more of a glued seam or hidden stitch or something.

[Ian]

Yeah, my CF and Crusader Monk scabbards both seem to have a glued seem.  There's no visible stitching.  I will attempt to get some photos later this afternoon.

[Sir Brian]

Here are a couple of pictures of mine and they appear to be glued. 

[Sir William]

Yeah, my CF and Crusader Monk scabbards both seem to have a glued seem.  There's no visible stitching.  I will attempt to get some photos later this afternoon.

Christian doesn't stitch his back seams?  Thank you...I did not know that.  CM doesn't bother, but for him its a cost-cutting timesaver.

Wolf, I'll snap a couple pics tonight...are you building one?

[Sir Edward]

Yeah, I think all my CF scabbards are glued. I'll double-check and get some pictures.

[Sir James A]

Completely forgot about this! I'll get some tonight.

[Sir William]

What's hilarious is that of all the swords I have pictures of- not a single shot of the back seam on any of them!  lol

I guess that's not the part people want to look at, eh?  Thought I'd have one stuck somewhere...so I guess I'll have to take those pics after all. 

[Sir Edward]

OK, get ready for some back-side scabbard-porn:   

[Ian]

My CF scabbard's backside looks identical to the blue scabbard Sir Ed posted above.

[Sir Wolf]

ok kewl thanks guys. looks like all glue and the stitched is there for cosmetics. well the blue one maybe more since it's a tighter weave.

thanks!

[Sir William]

Which is more accurate?  CF backside looks very tight...not that CM doesn't, but on occasion the line isn't straight (mine sorta curves on one of my pieces) - and I did not take a pic, I am sorry Wolf!  However, mine look like the stitched one, brown, that Sir Edward posted.  I'm assuming its a DBK.
