| DBK Custom Swords - Handmade Custom Sword Scabbards | |
Our scabbards include a lacquered handmade poplar wood core, to protect the core from moisture.
The core is custom sized to the individual sword for a precise fit, including
wool strips for a smooth draw & sheathing of the blade, every time. The
premium oak
tanned leather is hand-crafted to size with each detail taken into careful
consideration. Every scabbard is hand-stitched with a single seam up the back. Dye colors are applied via a multi-step process to assure of a smooth transitional blending of color. The end result is a stunning and artistic scabbard to compliment your sword in
historic fashion.

Why go with a DBK custom handmade scabbard? Each scabbard is
individually planned and put together by hand using traditional historical methods,
including a hand-stitched seam up the back, and not glued. The design, detail,
and leatherwork that goes into each scabbard is unique to the scabbard, and not
mass-produced. Every part of the scabbard is carefully considered for the
functionality & aesthetic outcome, including the draw, sheathing, and angle
the scabbard will hang from the hip. In short, we consider each scabbard an
artistic project and take great pride in each and every one.

Then the king looked upon the sword, and liked it
passing well. "Whether liketh you better," said Merlin,
"the sword or the scabbard?" "Me liketh better the
sword," said King Arthur.—"Ye are more unwise," said
Merlin; "for the scabbard is worth ten of the sword; for
while ye have the scabbard upon you ye shall lose no
blood, be ye never so sore wounded ; therefore keep well
the scabbard alway with you."
