Help..Information on Khanda scabbard design needed

Hi Katana,

When making your scabbard, you must decide what kind of scabbard it is going to be, as not all Indian swords were hanging, a lot of them were carried in the hand, or stuck into the belt, but these had no fittings for hanging. If we change from the khandas to the firangis, then I don’t think I have seen a firangi with rings for hanging – maybe be course it was usually too long to draw when hanging from a belt, who knows.

Nice pictures Galvano
