丁克一手半剑 Hanwei Tinker Bastard sword test cutting out of the box

Okay, this is the Hanwei Tinker Line Bastard Sword, and there's a lot of things I like about the sword, and some things I don't like at all. And one of the things I don't like at all is the scabbard. Normally, a scabbard that's cheesy or cheap or not real good, no big deal, I don't care, doesn't bother me at all. This scabbard kind of bothers me. It looks nice, it's nicely put together, you know, that's not the problem. This is the problem. I don't know if you can hear that real well, but I just heard SHING, all right? The reason is this right here. The throat, the opening that goes through the throat for the sword blade, is smaller than the opening of the scabbard core itself. So when your sword goes in and out of the scabbard, it rubs on this steel shape, and that's not good for the edge. Now, pardon me. When this sword first showed up at my door, the first time I pulled it out and messed with it, It was able to cut paper, just barely, but it was able to do it. Can't do it anymore. In just a couple days time and, I don't know, maybe a dozen draws in and out of that scabbard, the edges of this sword have become so dull that this isn't a problem and it won't cut paper anymore. That scabbard has made this thing dull. I don't like that.
