Second that motion !

Battara ; are you up for going multi-cultural ?

I also need a Piso scabbard and one for a Khyber knife .

Anyone else lurking or posting a scabbard maker ?

Rick

Are you sure you want someone to make a scabbard for a kyber knife? Original ones are so cheap that a replica could be far more expensive, cause of the handwork

I want a scabbard for a kilij (pala) sword, but I prefer an original. If someone has one please contact me

The problem is getting a properly matching one that fits right....

Ah Yannis , alas original Khyber scabbards are not readily available in the far Eastern U.S. and I never see only a scabbard for sale on ebay .
It is also a large example .

Here is another customer for a scabbard. I do own a Khyber knife without a scabbard. If a real one is cheap tell me where we can get them. And what is cheap?
Just like Tom and Rick say, can we get a good fitting one? Mine is not very small too. The butcher would envy me for this one

I thought that scabbards of khyber knifes are cheap because... khyber knifes WITH scabbards are cheap

I have seen khyber knifes in Ebay in prices lower than a good new handmade scabbard for a sword.

The problem is that I have not seen scabbards alone

I'm a little puzzled Yannis , a Salawar Yataghan is a cheap knife ?

Even the old examples ?

Yannis · 20th December 2004, 07:30 PM

Well, it depends who sell it and what we mean cheap

After the fall of Taliban regime in Afghanistan a lot of them found their way to western market and the prices have fallen rapidly. Of course it depends of the quality, the condition etc.

I have seen some of them to get very low prices in Ebay. I dont want to write numbers here, but as I said before lower that a custom, hand made scabbard for a sword.
