I HAVE ALSO USED THE PLASTIC RIFLE CASES AND AS MENTIONED I ALWAYS WRAP EACH SWORD IN BUBBLE WRAP ,CLOTH,OR FOAM MATERIAL. THEY CAN ALSO BE TRANSPORTED IN THE ROUND TUBES, BOXES (THE TRIANGULAR ONES FROM THE POST OFFICE WORK WELL) OR LARGE SUIT CASES OR EVEN GOLF BAGS PREFERABLY THE HARD SIDED KIND. THE MAIN THING IS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE PROTECTED FROM MOVEMENT AND CONTACT ON THE INSIDE ESPECIALLY THE HANDLE (MOST VUNERABLE TO DAMMAGE AND THE TIP AS YOU DON'T WANT IT STICKING THRU THE CONTAINER. THE CONTAINER WILL PREVENT BENDING OR CRUSHING FROM THE OUTSIDE.
