Thanks Charles!
I do remember this thread but have no idea why I didn't commented earlier.
How long is the blade (without the integral bolster)?

I was looking at how the blade seats in scabbard and thought you might try to see if something got wedged down into the tip of the scabbard (run some sturdy copper wire down as a probe or similar). I've also had good luck with applying gentle torque in different directions when sheathing to find the true fit (warpage issues).

I'd be weary - antique Aceh scabbards can break easily. I believe shrinkage of the wood may be causing the (non-)issue.
