- Because my functional back scabbard design worked so well it's high time we see if we can improve it, and make it look as awesome as it's fundamental design!

"Look, there be adventurers."
"But how do you know they're adventurers?"
"They're wearing their weapons on their back son, with all the running, climbing, jumping and crawling they have to do. It's far more convenient."
Don't forget about their brigandine armor
What is that black longsword, and why is it your favorite longsword?
I'll be implementing an efficient back scabbard as part of my upcoming project. The male lead carries a scabbard on his back. So I feel the compulsion to upgrade his design.
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.
@@irregularassassin6380 you can attach a pack to it. Get some straps. Also, side pouches are more efficient.
Imagine if the Shabbard becomes so ingrained in fantasy pop culture that it ends up as a medieval misconception in the future.
At a certain point in the future, they will be referring to today as medieval.
I hope so honestly
@@TheTakato122 Ancient, yes. Medieval, no.

Correction. Swords will never be truly practical or common again.
They have ALWAYS been cool though. There is a reason fiction loves to arm everyone with swords even if it's inefficent.
It's just a much more elegant and interesting to look at weapon.

If Shad was born in the medieval ages he would've made back scabbards historically accurate
There is an argument to be made that modern fantasy pop culture was the only reason anyone had thought of this. So if Shad was born back then I doubt he would've ever thought of it.

Little did Shad know, this was the initial step to becoming the first practitioner of Tri-Wielding.
What an interesting fighting style that would be. I think it would be on the flashy end of things, like nunchucks are flashy. Not wholly stupid, maybe if you’re athletic enough you could make it work, unlike nunchucks.

The wool is an important touch, pads the blade, secures the blade, and can also help keep the blade oiled.
We all need to make sure the word shabbard becomes the accepted term for this type of sword socket. Shad definitely earned his credit for workshopping the concept into a realistically functional tool and bringing awareness of it to the whole world.
I think "backdraw" is a much better name. Shabbard, as Shad admitted, is a very wonky sounding name. We could even call it a wingdraw to emphasize the guiding flap.
@@spin.chicken "The Wingdraw" is such an awesome name. That's the Legendary Item version of a standard backdraw.
@@spin.chicken Those are pretty cool. I like shabbard though, personally. I've already started to casually incorporate it in my medieval activities.

Shad is getting in better shape, his skills are improving, and he has much better gear. LOVE to see it.
I'm very happy to see him in better shape, it sounded a bit grim about a year ago

Shad is genuinely more happy running around with a sword on his back than most people are at seeing their first born child coming into the world.

Hes acting like a kid on Christmas its amazing to see hes so happy
I had the same reaction to the video. Or for example when I got my first bass guitar. This kind of excitement is one of the best feelings one can experience. It shows you that a part of you is still a child and always 'll be.

Dude! Us fantasy nerds, for so long, have had the hard to swallow pill of "Back Scabbards are utterly impractical".
Then this legend enters the chat!
Shad, from the depths of my icosahedron heart, Thank You for the Shabbard! You f*ing legend!
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.
@@NobodyCares56 The problem is that this shabbard is actually not very practical for traveling. I would rather have a backpack with my stuff on my back.
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.
@@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 🖤
Do you watch Business Blaze? because that is where i learn the quote "You F*cking Legend"
I love how for the last 20 years Fantasy RPG people where like "back scabbards are cool but unrealistic and clunky". Turns out they are both cool and awesome.
I have always been a fan of responding to "but you can't do that with normal equipment" with "so make something where it does work". And your shabbard is easily one of the best examples of that.
It's to late Shad, you've named a original design that will become very popular amongst large community that spans many different interests (history, martial arts, larp, ect...). You Sir Shadrick have made the impossible, and in so doing have earned the right for this wonderful invention to forever bare part of your name as the Shabbard.
Impressive, most impressive. Well done Sir Shad.
If Shabbard becomes a widely accepted term, I just might die happy

This device will be used in movies, larps, and videogames for all eternity
This absolutely has to happen.
*should
probably wouldn't though, since most people don't give a crap about realism and will continue putting normal scabbards on people's backs
@@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.
For sure. I have officially decided to add a Dwarvish Blacksmith Artificer to my D&D world that studies weapons and made the Shaddbard going forward. It’s too cool not to.
@@AntonVeliTajan Maybe not in video games because the vew frames are overlooked. Just look at any 3D Zelda game. You see it happen.
In movies these will probably be used.
I'm so happy for Shad. He's doing so many new things with his channel, and has such cool plans for the future. Hats off to this guy!

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.

It's the "BackShad" and the slogan is:
"Keep your 6 sharp. By Shadiversity."
I used to have a weaboo-level Nordic friend who shouted "Backscabbard alert!!!" Every time he saw something that wasn't placed on the perfectly glorious placement of the hip
He is Nordic, so by rule, he is right.
I wonder what he would think of this
Oh how the mighty have fallen
It would not work in the north simply because of rain and snow or to make it work you would need to be very careful to not make it rust.
It is fine for fantasy it however is not great for real-world situations everywhere.
If you at all think about rust prevention open-faced back scabbard is not a good idea (you also want the end hollow to get water out of there)
@asdrubale bisanzio That is fine if you are not intending to move around with it. if you are a flap will not hinder rain at all what so ever, Wool is also very absorbent and keeps moisture for quite a decent amount of time
To make the flap secure enough that you can move around with it without getting rain in you have effectively made a normal scabbard on the back
You also can not have the flap be in the way of sheathing the sword making it harder to place but i do think it is possible
For it to not affect the unsheathing part it needs to be lose enough that you are just pushing it away and not cut in to it, nah i just see a lot of problems with using a flap.
I see to many problems with a flap and a sharp blade.
Again what is made here is fine in fantasy it just has some flaws in "real world" applications.
If there is another iteration (or you send it in to fix the tabs), I would dye the wool. The white wool really stands out and looks odd against the dark leather.
Shad is a big inspiration dude, he's come so far and he's such a nice person
shad: "I just wanted two of the same sword"
me: "What? why do you need two?"
shad: "i ended up buying three."
me:
He wanted a sharp one and a blunt one, that explains the idea of getting two. How or why he ended up with three, that's the enigma.
@@maximsavage Like you said a blunt one for showing and making videos with safety, a sharp one because... er... protection? and of course one to put on display on the wall or cabinet
Perhaps there was a bit of a discount for buying 3?
Or, you know, who can resist the siren call of beautiful weapons?
A blunt one for videos and showing off for safety. A sharp one because, why even bother if you are not gonna have a sharp sword? and another sharp one for testing and abuse the fuck out of it.
@@gantzllat and then blunted steel swords are also suitable for sparring with armor.
He loved that sword so much he is going to triple wield it
The amount of enthusiasm and pride Shad has in his content genuinely makes me smile
His nerdy enthusiasm over the shabbard, really makes the video more enjoyable, I can relate to his joy :)
