Nice work Katana, narrower as the others say would be good, after all velvet will also add quite alot to its width & thickness.
The colour traditionaly used most on velvet scabbards in Nepal is Simrik, which of course is saffron or crimson colour.
In fact it is the official National colour of Nepal & is written into there constitution as such, It is used to signify the braveness & toughness of the Nepali people.
I imagine that perhaps it originates as representative as the blood of the fallen heros?
