More kaskaras

[colin henshaw]

Hi

Thanks to those who commented on these swords, glad they are of interest. To answer katana's specific questions - the fullers are a little bit irregular, so probably done by hand and the blades are slightly flexible.

Given the insterest in kaskaras, I thought I would also post these images of a spare scabbard I have. On close examination...the construction is of good quality and skillful. The brass hanging rings are nicely decorated. The scabbard itself is a "sandwich" of thin wood, cloth and leather. I imagine this scabbard was for the kaskara of a wealthier individual...

Regards.
