Here are my side arms- each made by distinguished members of RAT.
Very nice Paul. How do you prevent losing that knife while still being able to draw it easily?

The scabbards are fleece lined with veggie tinned leather shrunk (when wet) to snugly fit the knife, and the leather half covers the handle. Never had a problem!
I'm sure that the originals would have been more decorated with leather carving etc , but without any Late Roman knife scabbards surviving.... :roll:
