I think a bit more information about why metal scabbards were used at one point, and also why naval and police scabbards were leather. I guess that the police ones were leather so that they were quieter, but I'm no expert. Hellfire83 01:21, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
So far as I know there is no evidence whatsoever supporting the use of "Back scabbards", though they are portrayed regularly in fantasy books and movies.
This topic has been discussed extensively here: http://www.myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=5792&start=80&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=back+scabbard
The general consensus amongst historians is that the back scabbard is a modern construct, and unless anyone can show me evidence to the contrary (which would be most welcome) I am going to edit the topic to clarify that back scabbards are a modern invention.
Perfect. Excellent work.
Should we possibly split following paragraph into two sections, one for the topic of 'type of scabbards' and 'modern scabbards'.
"Back scabbards were never used in European..."
It would just make the whole thing flow better, I think. That and it's would beef out the 'type pf scabbard section'. We also need more information on scabbards from around the world. Relicswords 04:16, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Relicswords
also I added a link to battojutsu & iajutsu since they are related subjects.
