Thankyou Battara, that sounds even better! It must be my eyes!
I understand you wanting a scabbard, red velvet & gilt chape sounds like it would match well with its look, I personaly probably wouldnt put small knives with it unless I came across some by chance, but if I did with a kukri of this lambendh {long handle.}style & potential age, Ive noticed that often{normaly even.} have twin very kukri shaped karda. Hard to find originals though,
Hers an example at the Pittrivers museaum in Oxfordshire.{Great & rare quill work as well on this scabbard.}
