My first attempt at a sword scabbard. A bit of a challenge, but after three trys on the leather, it all worked out. All steel fittings. The tip is three pieces silver brazed together. Two halves and a bottom plug. The throat is also three pieces. The main body with a brazed seam in back, and 650° silver soldered top plate. The frog hook was made from a bar of 3/8" steel, sawed and filed to shape, then pinned and brazed to the throat. The sword was made by Jared Secrest under the guidance of Kyle Willyard, light in weight, and wonderfully balanced.

Looks great, Wow first time. Did you wrap the leather around a form like wood? From the looks of the seam it doesn't appear to be real thin leather. Just trying to figure out how to do the body of the sheath. Really nice clean work, fit, finish, form, patina, design, excellent.
 
The seam is sewn with 7 ply waxed linen thread. I like to flatten my center seams, and this hides and protects the stitch, although the thread can seen at a lower angle.
