    Wait… is this a real physical book? I’ve had this picture for awhile but I thought it was one of those “your childhood ruined” type deals:

    I loved those great illustrated classics.

    Still tricking me into believing I read stuff like black beauty or count of Monte cristo

      Shad from the YouTube channel Shadiversity made a back scabbard that actually works, but it’s not historical. Historically, people didn’t really do it.

      He also made a bow carrier on his back, to mimic a lot of movies and games.

        To be a bit more precise, people did sometimes carry swords on their back, but generally not into battle. It was more comfortable for travel, but impossible to draw, so when they were expecting trouble they would move it to the hip.

      You don’t. If you carry your sword sheathed on your back, you first take the whole thing off, like a backpack.

      Ask the people who made the Highlander TV series. They apparently unsheathed them out of their ass.

    Unsheathing that bad mamajamma requires at least two hands. Small hands, though. For the picture.
