Thanks f/b! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I might make one more carrier with double straps to be worn on the back. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Seeing your design has made me start thinking about scabbards.

Something like that but with some sort of wood scabbard maybe with a fancy decorated leather cover instead of or in addition to the leather sheath.
Pipe dream, of course, but a nice pipe dream.
