Yeah. I understand, but it helps to give a reference. I think I am going to make mine out of leather completely without any guttering. I'll use the three ring design, but without the metal piece at the mouth. I have a pretty good idea in my head of how I want it to look. I want to make it as plain as possible so that it has more flexibility of use with different kits and eras. Besides, I plan on buying a Xiphos with scabbard and Baldric from Manning soon. although I understand it will take roughly 2 years to receive. I just want to make the falcata basic (I do not intend for it to be my main sword for my Greek kit). I plan on getting my full kit from manning minus the shield (Corinthian Helm, Crest, Cuirass, Greaves, Xiphos, Spear Head) since I have already made multiple Greek shields that I am very happy with.
