Hey guys
I recently bought a Robert the Bruce Windlass, I saw it with a very good offer and I couldn't resist. In general, it's not bad, the finish is decent (except for some polishing defects) and a little dirt on the pommel.
It is the second Windlass I have. The first is an Atlantean that comes without a scabbard, but this one does. It caught my attention that the scabbard is like chewing gum. I looked inside and of course, there is only the leather. I had already read some mention of it here, but I had never had it. My question is, has anyone tried to make a thin wooden sheath to insert it into the leather and make it harder?
I also think it's a semprini, sharpening the sword and putting it in the leather sheath will make it lose its edge. If anyone has done anything about it, I'm all ears (well, more like eyes).
