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.
