This sheath/scabbard is exactly as advertised. It's not flashy, but it's legit leather, thick, sturdy, and a tight fit for a most larger bladed swords. If you're looking for a showpiece, you might need to accessorize it or decorate it a bit, but if you're looking for something practical, or a more "workmanlike" aesthetic, it's awesome.Looks good, good quality but missing the straps.About 1” of my sword sticks out.Bought a broadsword with a 30" blade, this was the only sheath in that category on amazon. Fits the blade perfectly and doesn't let it slip out.All around good product..but didn't come with the straps shown in picture. Not sure if I miss read somewhere and they weren't included or mine were just missing.This is a VERY nice item for the price. I only wish it came in more lengths as they only sell 31 inch and 38 inch.It is a good sheath for a normal sword or bokken. However, if you want to fit a hand and a half Cold Steel or similar sized sword one would have to oil and stretch the sheath to fit which can cause the stitching holding buckles on the sheath to come loose.This sheath us perfect for my claymore sword. It is not as skinny as some are stating. I have tested it on my swords that are 38" in length and it fits them just fine.
