Lately I have been having problems with my scabbards getting tight on my blades. The Khukuris arrive (plus one Tarwar), seem okay for a few awhile, then one day it becomes difficult to remove the blade.
I suspect moisture, but some of the Khukuris come from Washington, and some from Florida, which I'm sure have the same humidity problems of Southern California.
Am I missing something? And can someone give me a fix? I've already opened up three scabbards, including the Tarwar's, using the old technique of wet wooden wedges applied over an extended period of time. I really don't want to continue these little exercises if there is a solution.
