 |
|
Three custom scabbards, made in relatively quick succession within about a month-and-a-half:
* Saya for Japanese katana by Spanish manufacturer
Beech core, double-layer lacquer cover
The engraved symbol is Hikari - Japanese word for Light
** Scabbard for Oakeshott Type XIV Sword by Peter Regenyei
Poplar core, leather cover
Herring-bone pattern seem
Leather belt with hand-made bronze buckle and plates
Steel chape
*** Scabbard for Messer by Peter Regenyei
Poplar core, leather cover
Herring-bone pattern seem
Leather belt with hand-made bronze buckle and plates
Steel chape
My scabbard is heavily-influenced by Leo Todeschini's work

Looking at the hilt construction, wouldn't the last sword be a falchion?

Well, strictly speaking the weapon itself is quite a strange mix of features from both messer and falchion.
Its author - Peter Regenyei - in his site, defines it as a "messer"; so this is the way I name it.
