The scabbard is hand carved to the shape and taper of the blade.

Both halves are glued together, shaped on a belt sander and then hand sanded. A coat of wood sealer is applied to the exterior of the core. This protects the core from water damage or warping.

A 100% genuine leather cover is placed over the wood core, and the seam is hand stitched with sinew or linen thread. Multiple coats of leather dye are applied to ensure a uniform finish, and a coat of oil preserves the leather.

The metal fittings are created and riveted into place.
