A scabbard is a sheath for holding a sword or other large blade. Scabbards have been made of many materials over the millennia, including leather, wood, and metals such as brass or steel. The scabbards are used for swords so that we can cover them. The scabbards act as a protecting sheath which covers the whole sword by giving it an outer covering.

What did a scabbard look like?

Medieval sword scabbards were made of two thin pieces of wood made to contain the sword blade; these were covered with leather sewn along the length of the scabbard. A metal chape (end cap) could be made of bronze or other copper alloy, perhaps tinned or silvered in some cases. The suspensions straps could be very complex, as in Anglo-Norman England in the 12th and 13th centuries. Some leather-covered scabbards were decorated with embossed designs.

What was the fabric leather used for in the Medieval times?

Leather is not a fabric, but treated animal skin - usually the hide of calves or adult cattle that has been tanned to preserve it. Leather was used for shoes and boots, for belts, pouches, knife sheaths, sword scabbards and gloves. In the book "Dress Acessories1150 - 1450" published by the Museum of London, there are many examples of medieval leather items preserved in the mud of the river Thames, including some complete belts, shoes and knife scabbards. Leather items could be decorated with metal studs or by embossing designs with a metal tool.
