Hello everybody,

I recenly purchased a keris that came straight from Indonesia up her to Canada.

The wooden gayaman sheath seems to have shrunken (I assume) and the blade itself is stuck inside. I have tried with all my strength to pull it out as safely as possible, but it does not want to come out.

Is there a way I could get the blade out short of breaking the sheath to get to it?
