Features

Unlike for the Maelstrom line, there are no standard options for Trident line scabbards. Prices shown here are approximate.

• Custom-fitted, wool-lined wooden core ($175) more
  Trident line wooden cores are wool-lined and feature historically-accurate cross-sections and distal tapers.
• Leather outer in any color (add $30 for custom colors)
• Hand Dyed Leather ($50) more
  Hand Dyed leather provides a completely different look and feel from the machine dyed equivalent. in general hand dyed leather has color contrasts which makes the pieces look more period authentic.
• Historically accurate belt, buckle, and hardware ($155+) more
  An example of a historically-accurate belt and suspension system. You can select any buckle from the buckle list. Buckle prices vary based on model.
• Twisted wire elements ($7+) more
  Wire decoration helps delineate your scabbard. Wire decoration was often used in period for decorative work on sword pommels and hilts. This is an example of the sort of work we typically do with twisted wire.
• Pewter/sterling decorative elements ($18+) more
  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 (See pricing details under "belt mounts" menu item above) more
  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
• Braided leatherwork ($23+) more
  Add braided leather work as a decorative touch or as part of your suspension system. Here in one of my earlier efforts I used braided leather in the suspension system for a Del Tin Falchion.
• Metal chape ($75+) (bronze)/ ($90+)(tinned bronze) and/or locket ($20+) more
  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.
• Triangle flap at scabbard mouth ($30) more
  Add a triangle flap at the top of your scabbard. This was often done in period.
• Hand stitching ($100) more
  Hand stitching is a time-consuming process but is another one of those details that make your scabbard that much more historically accurate.
• Hand Tooled Leather ($100) more
  Leather Tooling was one of the most common ways to decorate sheaths and scabbards (and indeed most leatherwork) in period. At Tritonworks we are able to provide a multitude of off the shelf stamping options and even custom stamps should you so desire.
• Rain Guards ($45) more
  Rain guards are often pictured in period artwork, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries. It is questionable as to whether or not rain guards were more functional or more decorative but we can build you a custom rainguard which is both functional and decorative and integrate it into the existing grip of your sword. The rainguard will be custom tooled to your specification.
