Hmm. That's leather, looks like. I think I could do that. The embossing isn't dreadfully difficult.
I think I'd like to put brass around the top, to match the guard on the sword handle, and probably along the embossed lines instead. I think it would look a little more flashy, and certainly more sturdy. That blade is heavy, so I'm afraid it would deform the leather at the top of the sheath. Was that done?
Is the leather wrapped over wood and stitched on the back side?
