Is there a way to make it so the sword can not be drawn from the sheath with wire ties? No sharp weapons at Comic con's.

You would have to sew through the sheath. Then after you take the wire out of the sheath when your done it would look pretty chewed up I would think.

Seeing that the sheath is made of flimsy pleather, id say that yes, you could make it a permanent fixture.

Out of the case, like the retail packaging, or out of the sheath? If the retail packaging, get another knife and cut it out! If the sheath, sometimes you have to put really hard. If it doesn't come out then, you might need to apply some heat, either through a hair dryer or boiling it in water, so the plastic will soften, allowing you to remove it. While it's pliable, you could mess with the retention. Just be careful with the hot metal and plastic, and don't get it so hot you might melt the plastic.

I use mine on a 3/4 X 1-1/4 inch scabbard with the leathers pulled together, broke one getting it there, and it is still loose enough to slide out if the sword sticks. Since I use a broadsword I prefer a one-hand draw but not possible. I also use it with my hand-half practice sword.

I leave it on the shelf and use the clear plastic sheath that came with it for the blade, if desperate there is always duct tape on top of clear plastic. Best I can do for you.

Yes, it came with a sheath made of cheaper black plastic with a metal tip. I'll try to upload a picture later. :)

Well, you don't without some creativity unfortunately. I actually didn't use the wall plaque for Sting itself and used some leather strips I got at a craft shop to hang the sword half out of the scabbard on the wall at about a 45 degree incline, using the straps to secure both the hilt of Sting and the scabbard to hooks on the wall. Alternatively you could use the wall plaque and then do something at the tip of the scabbard to secure it to the wall (e.g. a loop of fishing line to a hook).

It doesn't come terribly sharp. If there are laws where you live that prohibit the purchase of swords in general, then it's probably not for the best to get it.

Hi Andy. We purchased this as well for a large prop sword without a scabbard and it worked great. If I recall correctly, there are two snaps to adjust to the size you will need for the blade width. Again, it was a "life size" prop sword, without a sharp blade and it worked great. We were very impressed with it.

I believe the sheath is leather, and you could strap it to your back, though I wouldn't recommend it if you intend to try to draw it from your back. Due to the length, it's pretty much impossible to draw with it strapped to your back, but if you just want to wear it decoratively on your back, that would work.

There is a rivet at the bottom of the sheath that would have to be removed in order to remove the plastic part. You might be better off just buying a leather sheath because if you remove the plastic, the only thing protecting you from the blade is a thin layer of cloth.

The pad is over bound with thread...if you cut it you would have to stop the raveling I think by binding it with something...

It would; however you wouldn't be able to draw it out. It's designed to go over a sheath of a standard sword or cutlass and hold it in place when drawing the blade itself

It's a really nice sword, got it for my boyfriend and he loves it!... Nerd ;P Only problem (in his opinion) is that it's a dulled blade and meant to be more of a wall mount not a toy haha. I'm pretty sure it's held by one screw and could easily come apart it you swung it around too much. Besides that, it's pretty nice looking, for a sword hahah.

Instead of making them smaller make your arms bigger by adding a wrapping of medical gauze dyed black or some other wrapping material. This might add a cool look to them & will definitely help absorb impact! Just thinking outside the box, I sincerely hope this works out well for you! Even if you can find something cheap from the Goodwill that has a fur lining that can be cut up to wrap & tie around your arm, leaving the tuffs visible at each end might look cool! I repaired a old Viking sword sheath like that by gluing the fur to the hard wooden scabbard & then I went to the crafts department at Wal-Mart & braided different color leather cord to cross wrap around the fur & it came out looking better than the original. I would try this before altering your cuffs worst case scenario you could still sell them if you start altering the cuffs themselves their value will depreciate. I hope this works, good luck!

It locks in pretty solid. I don't know that there is anything that is going to keep a knife in a sheath if your are tangled in debris. You should already have it out at that point. Down side: Knife is titanium and it cannot be sharpened.

You can carry the sword in hand without the scabbard. There is no way to carry the sword on the belt without the scabbard though. Also, be advised that this sword is basically something that would be used as a movie prop. I bought it for my son for Christmas thinking it was something he could run around with when playing in the woods with his cousins. This thing has a real (unsharpened) blade so it sits in his room for show instead of being used as a toy.

The sword looks really good as it is, hanging on the wall. If you want a sharp blade you might as well get a real battle ready sword that won't break if you hit something with it.
