Here is a picture of the blade. I managed to seperate the hides from the scabard. I should be able to re-use them. The scabard was made of paper, wraped in fabric, then covered with the two hides. I plan on making mine from some wood panels, then covering with hide. As this is my first time I have a few ?uestions.
1. What ethnic group does it come from?
2. What do the marks on the blade mean?
3. How do I clean and sharpen the blade?
4. What is the most common rookie mistake?
