a weird question...

[crptcblade]

does anybody know the correct name for the "carrying case" for a sword?? Like with a pirate, when they put their sword into that thing that covers up the blade, what is that thing called?

[HarryW]

A scabbard.

[crptcblade]

cool, thanks, its been bugging me for a while

[amesjustin]

or a sheath.

[CyberSurfer]

Swords are always carried in Scabbards, Knives are always carried in sheaths. The only exception is a Bayonet, which is carried in a scabbard.

I've changed my mind - you have a broken link at :
http://www.cybernet-x.org.uk/downloads/utilities/index.htm :(

Can you give me another as I'm after the Xara / 3d text creator type app at the moment - does this work on NT ?

Cheers!

I recently re-created all my download zip files, and musta changed the name of that one...I'll fix it when I get home...Thanks for the heads up! As for NT, dunno, never tried!!

So what if you are a mad axe murderer, unless you kill axes with swords and knives, surely you would be more likely to know that knife = sheath etc. if you were a mad knife weidling murderer or a mad sword weilding murderer. anyway i'll stop being a prat now.

[CyberSurfer]

Of course I kill axes with swords and knives, what other type of Axe Murdere is there? :)

[Jamagei]
