So this may be a dumb question, but should the chape be loose enough to pop free by just brushing up against something?
If not how can I tighten it.
Btw I love this sword.

no it should not. I would use epoxy and permenenty bond the chape to the scabbard. I was under the impression they were epoxied together in the first place.

I looked inside there is no residue of any epoxy, it was just pushed on tight.
I'll try some epoxy, do you have any recommendations?
Btw, thanks for the quick reply!

just look for one that works on steel- maybe scuff up the inside of the chape with rough sandpaper or a file to create better traction and more surface for the epoxy to grab onto.

Just wanted to add that I had the loose chape problem as well.
