Hi,
please, I need information on the design of a Khanda scabbard so that I can make one. All the pictures I have seen have been from the 'facing' side and do not show the fittings (for hanging). The other thing I need to know is ....with the width of the 'spatula' tip ...would the throat of the scabbard be sized the same. Or is the top section of the scabbard 'slotted' from one side to allow the sword to be sheathed from the side (to allow a narrower throat...and a tighter fit for the sword).

'Period' decoration and scabbard fabric covering help, would also be gratefully received, thankyou

Regards David
