Quote:In addition to the tips on widening the mouth of the scabbard, you could also consider the technique you use to place the sword back in its scabbard. I used to have the problem you describe (amongst other related problems) and found that the solution was to turn the sword by 90 degrees whilst still vertical and place the point of the sword in the scabbard mouth. This should mean that it naturally locates the widest part of the opening. Then simply turn the blade, keeping the point located at that point and you should find that the blade drops smoothly into the scabbard.

Wow if you replace 'scabbard' with the appropriate latin term, thats sounds so bad, haha. I find it supremely amusing that this particular piece of modern 'proper' terminology comes from soldier-slang.
