I am looking for someone who can make some reproduction scabbards for me. The ones I turn out look chunky like some of the contemporary ones. So I am looking for historically accurate ones to be made for dha, parang, piso podang and a tenegre. Obvoiusly on a firefighters salary I will not have them all done at once but over the next few months
Thanks |

Rick
Are you sure you want someone to make a scabbard for a kyber knife? Original ones are so cheap that a replica could be far more expensive, cause of the handwork ![]() I want a scabbard for a kilij (pala) sword, but I prefer an original. If someone has one please contact me |

Here is another customer for a scabbard. I do own a Khyber knife without a scabbard. If a real one is cheap tell me where we can get them. And what is cheap?
Just like Tom and Rick say, can we get a good fitting one? Mine is not very small too. The butcher would envy me for this one ![]() |

I thought that scabbards of khyber knifes are cheap because... khyber knifes WITH scabbards are cheap
![]() I have seen khyber knifes in Ebay in prices lower than a good new handmade scabbard for a sword. The problem is that I have not seen scabbards alone ![]() |

Well, it depends who sell it and what we mean cheap
![]() After the fall of Taliban regime in Afghanistan a lot of them found their way to western market and the prices have fallen rapidly. Of course it depends of the quality, the condition etc. I have seen some of them to get very low prices in Ebay. I dont want to write numbers here, but as I said before lower that a custom, hand made scabbard for a sword. |

HI folks.
![]() Note: I always try to do as much ethnographic research as possible on a piece for designs and authenticity. If possible, I even like to email sketches approval before any money or work is exchanged or started. This also includes rough estimate price quotes. My email is: battara@hotmail.com If you need pictures of other things I have made, please let me know. Fleas Navi Dog! - Jose ![]() |
