Awesome chape! The whole scabbard ended up absolutely beautiful! I am about to make some scabbards to replace the ones for my windlass swords. This will be a great help.

VERY nice  . edrigol (especially) - I love the back stitching on the scabbard. But a comment? A double needle "X" stitch will allow you to flatten the seam, get as much (or more) strength, and waste less leather.
I have some data on this on this FREE pdf:

.... a typical double needle "X" stitch on one of mine:
In edhil, hai edhil. In edain, hai edain.
