Sword Sheath

For all the people that own swords or perhaps a machete here is how you can build a sheath (if your blade didn't come with one or the old one broke.) It is a very simple project plus it helps to keep the blade protected, not to mention you...safe.

where did you get the swords themselves? More beautiful than my scimitars. my favorite fighting weapon: the double scimitar. I also like Japenese straight swords

sorry, not to be mean just wondering didn't the Chinese have strait swords, i never heard of a Japanese strait sword, i mean if you have a katana why would you need anything else?. i don't know much about kung fu weapons but i know the strait sword is chinese ( i have 2 of them) but if there is a japanese strait sword let me know, it sounds pretty cool.

Yea, I don't know of any Japanese straight swords either, actually the one I do know that is Chinese, the Jian, is called the Kana by the Japanese; however it is still the same Chinese sword...Idk if the Japanese actually ever used it.

No offense, but it seems like you made this instructable just to show off your cool blades.

Virtuous (author) in reply to sbjupiterFeb 20, 2010. 6:08 PM

hahaaa! On the contrary....I made it to enter into the Cardboard contest that was a while ago...but people also like looking at swords, if I didn't have them in this it would just be lame and not as cool. You said yourself they were "cool blades" lol

sbjupiter in reply to VirtuousFeb 21, 2010. 10:06 AM

Sorry man I'm not trying to be mean, the swords are definitely cool. And I didnt know about the contest, I'm kinda new to this site. I'll add an instructable soon hopefully.

It's all good...I never took it as you trying to be mean anyways. Welcome to the site, I'm interested to see what you have to offer instructable wise.

How can I keep the blade from falling out?

nvxcmz says: Nov 22, 2009. 4:21 PM

i thought you were making a sheath not a cardboard thing that wouldnt work i mean seriously at least make it look cool

Virtuous (author) in reply to nvxcmzNov 23, 2009. 10:39 AM

ok *** hole, have you thought that maybe it does work and maybe its just that you suck at making anything that takes a lil effort?... Mine works just fine and does not fall apart or split open. BTW this was for the cardboard contest that was like a couple months ago...pls if your gonna comment, make it constructive or at least a "little helpful

not to mention it's a cheap and easy way to protect your blade from scuffs.

Could you make a more sturdy sheath????

Virtuous (author) in reply to headshot33Oct 12, 2009. 11:04 AM

You probably could depending on the cardboard you use or the way you fold it together, but the one I have shown is actually very sturdy the way I folded it.
