Trident Line Scabbards

Trident line wooden cores can be shearling wool-lined and feature historically-accurate cross-sections and distal tapers.

Shearling provides an added layer of protection for your blade besides providing a perfect fit.

Hand dyed, handstitched leather provides a completely different look and feel from the machine dyed equivalent. In general, hand dyed leather has color contrasts which make the pieces look more period authentic, and the hand stitching provides the best fit possible.

Examples of a historically-accurate belt and suspension system. You can select any buckle from the buckle list and we have many other types and styles available.  Buckle prices may vary based on model.

Wire decoration helps delineate your scabbard. Wire decoration was often used in the period for decorative work on sword pommels and hilts. This is an example of the sort of work we typically do with twisted wire.

Add any metal decorative element from the decorative elements list. If you don't see something from the theme you want, ask us about it. We can find just about anything.

Belt mounts give your sword belt or baldric that extra flair that was so important to our ancestors. Belt mounts are easily found in existing contemporary art and effigial sources.

Add braided leather work as a decorative touch or as part of your suspension system. 

Add a chape and locket, ranging from simple to elaborate, like the chape shown here. Trident line chapes are cast from historical originals and are some of the best reproductions currently on the market.

Add a triangle flap at the top of your scabbard. This was often done in period.

Leather tooling was one of the most common ways to decorate sheaths and scabbards (and indeed most leather work) in the period. At Tritonworks, we are able to provide a multitude of off-the-shelf stamping options and even custom stamps should you so desire.  We can also do embossing and leather painting for additional costs.

Rain guards are often pictured in period artwork, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries. It is questionable whether rain guards were more functional or more decorative, but we can build you a custom rain guard which is both functional and decorative and integrate it into the existing grip of your sword. The rain guard will be custom tooled to your specification.
