      It's a tricky thing for adventurers because you cannot effectively wear both this and a pack. Thus, some may still prefer traditional side scabbards so they can wear a backpack and carry equipment there.

    I've been playing Witcher 3 and even though I've gotta say It's really cool to see something that could make the 2 swords thing work well. I also want to add that doing the Geralt of Rivia sheath tap could probably get rid of any awkwardness with the sheathing.

  • @josephasbury4492
    @josephasbury4492 7 місяців тому

    Best way I can think to improve it even more is to rib the guide panel with springs and secure it with hooks to the main body. Once a slider is actuated, the latches that the hooks are secured to move out of the way. The panel then snaps out of the way and allows sword removal. This would give you that rain coverage.

    You know what? I'm working on a game featuring both the historic side scabbard as well as a back scabbard; i think i'll actually name the back version shabbard :D. It helps distinguish the 2 of them and it honors one of the best channels i found for research on historic weapons.

      @@apostle602gmail I don't think so. It's very practical to use the shabbard, because the normal scabbard on the back does not work and they have to fake it to make it look as if it's working. You don't need to fake anything with a shabbard. Being able to show the sheathing or unsheathing with a working scabbard/shabbard is way cooler than having to fake it and cut inbetween or hiding the scabbard from the camera during the motion of faked sheathing or unsheathing.
      It makes the whole back-scabbard thing a lot cooler this way and because it does so, it will be used in film and video games as soon as concept of the shabbard is known to the people in charge for weapon design.
      The shabbard will prevail because it's a lot cooler than the non-functioning back-scabbard. The "rule of cool" will make it happen.

      Is there really no historical evidence for scabbards like these? I get that "practical for adventuring" wasn't exactly a real benefit to be considered when designing equipment in medieval society, but all the materials that went into this one sound like they could have been feasibly recreated back then and the benefits still would have been worthwhile in some situations.

    • @dilen754
      @dilen754 3 роки тому +15

      There are two problems:
      1. In reality there wasn't such thing as "adventuring". No need to go in a small group with battlefield level weapons. When you just travel you only need some self-defence weapon. If you march to war - there are carts and horses and everything.
      2. Not fully enclosed scabbard is rather bad in wet weather - rain, fog, snow. It's not just problem of actual water falling inside scabbard, it's the moisture in the air. Though there are ways to work around it, there is the point 1 that makes work rather pointless.

    • @disturbedcanon4765
      @disturbedcanon4765 3 роки тому +16

      @@NobodyCares56 it comes down to the intended purpose. In medieval times the average person carrying around a greatsword that might benefit from this wouldn't need to draw the sword quickly. It is more practical to have a weatherproof scabbard attached to your pack because if you need the sword then you almost definitely will have time to get it. Fantasy characters have back scabbards because they need to be battle ready at all times. They can't waste precious seconds taking off their backpack.
      Also, most people with a sword had a longsword or bastard sword, either exclusively or in addition to a larger sword. This kind of sword is more practical to keep on the hip for weather protection purposes. A hip scabbard is nearly rain proof (you would still want to cover it as much as possible and oil the sword frequently. They didn't exactly have waterproof plastic), and a hip scabbard allows you to wear a cloak to keep yourself and your equipment dry.
      Essentially, this scabbard is awesome if you need to have quick access to your greatsword, but medieval people didn't need that. This scabbard can be frustrating if it rains or you cross a stream, which are situations that medieval people had to deal with.
      Also, I love this scabbard and I want 2, one in black 🖤

    After this, if Matt Mercer doesn't start adding the word 'shabbard' to standard fantasy vocabulary, there's going to be some sternly worded letters.
    In all seriousness, great to see that giddy excitement at a well-fashioned idea made real. Definitely taking notes for possible future art projects.

    Thank you for saying it's okay for fantasy authors to use the design. I've incorporated the back scabbard into my novels ever since I saw your first video on it, but part of me was always concerned it was 'bad' for me to do so. It's an awesome design and works so well in my fantasy world.

    Would be interesting to find a way to make the wing able to fold over at the top so you could use it as a normal scabbard or fasten it to your back with the wing open for use on the back.

      That’s what I thought as well. There are certain special hinges that can stiffen in specific positions, so give the flap hinges that stiffen in the open position and you have a shabbard that can be opened when you want to be ready to draw and closed for travel and protection of the sword from the elements.
