Scabbard for Rotmilan type M3D+ Kriegsmesser

Many have reached out to us about when this product will finally be available and the wait is finally over!

It took us a while to get around some of the production and design challenges to make sure these scabbards would be compatible with both the sharp and the blunt Rotmilan kriegsmesser, with any given blade. Spending appropriate time with testing and adjusting the original plans finally paid out and the Scabbard for the Rotmilan type M3D+ kriegsmessers is finally available to order!

The wooden core of the scabbard follows the blade as closely as the curvature would allow. Like the rest of our scabbards, the core is bound with linen and wrapped in vegetable-tanned leather. The backside of the leather cover of the scabbard is sewn shut, to ensure that the leather cover will not peel away from the scabbard.

Part of the kit are two byknives with oak grip panels. Their integrated sub-sheaths are a part of the scabbard by default, are both fully sharpened and the bolsters are made of in-house cast brass tilted up towards the edge side as seen on many historical pieces.

The default finish is a deep oiling with no decoration on the scabbard. Since it has a large surface area, it could be embellished with any design of your choice.

List of decoration types:

• Plain: the leather is well-oiled and left completely plain.
  
  
• Floral: based on period manuscript border art and surviving leatherwork from the same era. Made by incising and embossing.
  
  
• Totentanz: the Dance of Death and Memento Mori are themes often seen in period art. On surviving original scabbards, to the best of our knowledge, they are exclusive to baselards from the 16th century, but the popularity of the theme itself justifies our use of it on Messer scabbards as well.
  
  

Please be advised; that slight variations and differences may occur in the products due to their hand-made nature and the organic materials used.

The products aim to have the aesthetics of historical pieces, not the finish of mass-produced items. Each product bears the signs of its making; small tool marks and imperfections, which do not affect the build quality or usability but give each of our pieces its unique character.

IMPORTANT!

While filing the order for a scabbard, please state the sidedness in the comments- is it meant to be for a left- or a right- handed blade?
