Kaskara Stuck In Scabbard

VANDOO · 29th April 2013, 06:26 PM

IT IS LIKELY THE BLADE HAS RUSTED IN THE SCABBARD, THIS IS COMMON AND WHY IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO LEAVE BLADES OUT OF LEATHER SCABBARDS WHEN IN STORAGE. IF THE SCABBARD IS NOT TOO OLD AND FRAGILE OR COVERED WITH SILVER YOU COULD TRY TAPPING UP AND DOWN THE BLADE ON BOTH SIDES WITH A WOODEN OR RUBBER HAMMER OR MAYBE EVEN A REGULAR HAMMER. THIS MAY BREAK UP THE RUST WHERE IT IS ATTACHED TO THE SCABBARD AND BLADE AND LOOSEN IT ENOUGH TO GET IT OUT. GOOD LUCK
