About Me

My name is Andy Sunda and I'm an artist, teacher, and sword enthusiast living in central Kentucky.  I've been actively taking scabbard commissions since 2021. I have made scabbards for clients all over the world, including Europe, Australia, Canada, and Singapore. 

​

My professional background is in art education, and I currently teach middle school art. This experience has provided me with skills ranging from painting to woodworking, leather craft, and metalsmithing. Since 2021, I have poured all of these skills into making beautiful, and functional, scabbards.  

​

All of my scabbards are made completely by hand, and each one is unique (although I do sometimes re-use patterns I really like). Every scabbard consists of a felt lined wood core, wrapped in thin, veg-tan leather, and includes some kind of belt or suspension.

 

I live on a farm with my wife, our cats, and our large herd of cows. In addition to making scabbards, I  am also an passionate sword collector, and keep a small but high quality collection of both reproductions and antiques.
