I have recently finished quite a few projects and commissions as they needed to be finished by fall Coronation, which was this last weekend.
After giving Ormbani and it's sheath to the King at TMT, I got a few requests for leather work and some weapon modification,
I made a number of my blade down seax sheaths one for three 12" seax throwers for the gentleman that is handing over the Kingdom Thrown Weapons officer position to me. He commissioned the blades but I made him the sheath as a thank you. It looks the same as the normal sheath but has an additional folded silluette inside that holds the center blade and makes a wall between the outer two,which is sewn down the strait bottom. The holes used to hold the cord that hangs the sheath are reinforced by a double fold of copper strapping tape and sewn into the dorsal plate atop the sheath.
I also made a single for one of the mentors I made the mentor blades for at the Ranger Moot.
That same gentleman asked me to make some modifications to his Cold Steel Khukri that he wanted as a smachet type utility knife.
To this I cut and shaped a tang drilling three holes for the pins and taking the black finish off leaving the knife "bright". I was also asked to make polymer clay knife scales for the handle which I made in a rustic wood grain pattern.
I then got a bug up my buttocks to make him a sheath that would look and work better after the modification.
The last commission was two fold, a sword scabbard for an inexpensive Strider replica for court for the King's huntsman with a matching sheath for his dagger.
There are pics of the dagger but I will have to model the sword scabbard when I get some pictures back of it as I neglected to take them of the finished product.
I made a few other weapons, the prize axe for the Thrown Weapons Competition at Coronation and my own tsikourian pair. (which I will put in the axe war hammer thread.)
