A locket — the metal fitting reinforcing the throat, or opening, of a scabbard — a practical component for building or restoring a Viking or Norman-style scabbard.
The locket sits at the scabbard's throat, the opening where the blade is drawn and sheathed — the point of most frequent wear on the entire scabbard. Reinforcing this opening with a metal fitting protected the leather and wood beneath from the repeated friction of daily use.
Deepeeka offers this locket as a practical component for scabbard-building and restoration projects, part of our D-I-Y range.
Use for:
- DIY scabbard assembly and restoration projects
- Replacement fitting for an existing scabbard
- Costume and prop-making projects
- A practical component for building a custom Viking or Norman scabbard
- Museum-style display alongside a matching sword or seax
