[A_Volpe]

Wow! Nice stuff!!

As for what to do with the sheath when not in use - One could also tie the straps into a loop and toss that over the handle of your gladius or pugio, tie it to you belt as well.

who is this Cacaius supplier?

We're looking for another Dolabra and tool supplier now that the Albion dolabra are discontinued. Very sad.

[Tiberius]

Cacaius is also Cezary Wyszynski. He lives in Poland. You can find him in the Marketplace section listing of suppliers.

Very nice Jeff- that's a beauty :wink:

I should have asked this much earlier, but, better late than never. It is my understanding that the rivets in the center of the sheath hold in place something to protect the blade of the dolabra from the sheath. I inserted a strip of 1/8 inch thick felt, with the rivets driven through to secure it. Is that correct?

[Matthew Amt]

Oh! Never really thought of that. My rivets are small nails that go all the way through, and the cutting edge just rests on them. They shouldn't hurt it.

Yeah, being copper alloy I'd not expect it to hurt the iron and something like felt or wood would hold moisture, which definitely would be bad for iron...
