The ULTIMATE back scabbard / shabbard 

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.

Well, we've never seen Shad and Batman in the same room together, just saying.

At a certain point in the future, they will be referring to today as medieval.

I hope so honestly

@@TheTakato122 Ancient, yes. Medieval, no.

Passive: But what about dragons? Deals 200% damage to dragons, plus 300% if standing on or near machiolations

+10% chance to cut a thief/rouge sneaking behind you when drawing

+200% naming convention

Shabbard (Legendary): When equipped, reduce the time it takes to draw and sheathe its weapon by one step, as if you possessed the Quickdraw feat. If you already possess the Quickdraw feat, drawing or sheathing its weapon is a free action, even out of combat.

@@KalonOrdona2 That's honestly the more balanced and useful ability presented thus far.

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.

@@Ives1776 it's a 9 month old unfunny joke, but I get what you mean

@@glauben2713 Yeah, I was being an ass for getting so "AcTcHuAlLy"

I was replaying the Witcher 1 just now.

Todd from Todd's Workshop works on the set of the Witcher. I think both he and Henry Cavill should see this video.

@@ilovemetalmusic310 Witcher 1 is a great game

@@herbseinburg449 It just has that certain charm to it which makes you wanna play it again. But it's age really shows. Kinda wish CDPR would remake it.

He's called S(c)had for a reason...

I agree... Shad, this is proper 👌

Fantasy no longer!

Those who uses shad's design without crediting him WILL BE MULCHED by Shadiversity students .

but how does it help him tug on that thick meaty shaft?

Nice.... Get out.

You know where the door is

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. Interesting concept

Bold of you to assume that Shad will not still be the Lord of the Shadlands in 100 years.

@@Santisima_Trinidad I am a realist... in a hundred years, the Shadlands will just be a mere province in his domain...

He ruled a land called Shadstralia

@@akashahuja2346 in his shadbase

I did and it is made. :)

But what about dragons?

Shad running around being exited about anything is enough to put a huge smile on my face.

Me too =)

Nope

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.

@@spin.chicken The Shaddraw lol

Indeed, love the ingenuity, its similiar to a design I had in my head as well.

Thanks for The Heart, Man. May I ask you something?

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.

I love watching someone get the chance to nerd out like this. Even if I'm not interested, just that childlike glee that forces its way out when it happens is amazing imo.

If he wasn't jumping to demo functionality he'd have to jump for joy anyway. I'd be tripped too if I solved that problem so well. Wowie!

Ik that studded leather looks dope as hell

@santi_super_stunts that’s not leather armor. That’s brigandine armor. He made a video about it.

@@Terreos I just wanted to see who would be the first person to correct me 😂 Ik it’s not studded leather

Eh I always figured that studded leather looking stuff is actually just odd looking brigandine anyway, it maintains my sanity

@@INeedaName-cb2qw dang it, I forgot! 🤣

If Shabbard becomes a widely accepted term, I just might die happy

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 🖤

sounds like shes got another greatsword for her sheath. keep that wallet thick n meaty or her feets gonna get fleaty

Hey Federico! Love your videos mate. Awesome to see you here, and so glad you enjoyed the video!

@@shadiversity thank you very much Shad! It’s reciprocal!! Cheers from Italy!

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.

Nail _catch,_ you mean. ;)

@@JD-128 both

Tell them it's "Medieval Australian" and they'll probably believe you

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.

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.

Yep but improved the unsheath method, Geralt lifts the bottom of the scabbard while Shad has the Shabbard

Yes i didnt actually have anything to say, I just know that the more comments the more likely that the yt algorithm doesnt bury the video.

Yes but what fossil do you think he would have taken?

Every time I DM a campaign, Shad shows up as an adventurer who created the back scabbard, and who sells them for rather reasonable prices alongside other weapons and gear like the gambeson and the spiked pavise

@@alericantonelli4656 now we really need a shad mini

I enjoyed that part also 😄

Fairly standard set-up for my Warrior characters... Still cool looking
