Not always, have for example a look to post #13, the beautiful examples from Michael, the one without scabbard is Sumara. There are different handle forms, look also #18, the statement from Michael.
And you find the answer for the query in your new thread!

Was able to add a Penai to the collection. Someone carved away the big integral guard a long time ago, maybe to get a better grip for a big hand.
It comes with a replacement scabbard (not shown) of low quality but the laminated blade is in very good condition after I've removed the corrosion.
62,5 cm long, blade alone 49 cm, 8,5 mm thick at the spine behind the handle. 608 gram.

My penai contributions. I will update with my sumara when I get around to photographing it.
