SWORD USAGE & CARE
 
Usage
 
Do's and don'ts from the suppliers

Do not bang your sword against another sword in a theatrical-style duel.

Do not bang your sword against any hard object to test its strength or the "sound" of the steel as it hits a hard object.
No matter how tough or strong the steel is in any sword, it will nick when struck against something equally hard. In stage plays or in movies, theatrical swords with wide, thick edges are used. The edges are flat and often as much as 1 1/6" wide. Such theatrical swords are designed to take the flashy looking punishment of banging edges together. If you are looking for theatrical swords look for ones marked as "Stage Steel" .

Be Careful with your sword, please remember that although your sword is not sharp, it will still do damage if it lands point down on your foot or anyone else's foot.

Please note: You are responsible for your own safety while handling / owning a sword, Triballine will not be held responsible for any injury / harm that may result from the use of these swords. 
 
Care
Many swords are vulnerable to rust.  Here are some tips to help you keep your sword looking new for many years to come.
Sword blades usually come in 2 types of steel, stainless, or high carbon.  Stainless steel blades as you would expect don't rust but carbon steel will.

1 - Do Not store your swords in the scabbards for long periods of time, the moisture in the leather will cause them to oxidize rapidly.

2 - One way to avoid rust is to keep a light coating of oil on the blade, WD40 works very well for this purpose. You will find that your sword comes shipped in an oil coating, this is the reason.

3 - Avoid excessive handling of the blade, the oils in skin are very bad for the metal. At the very least wipe off any finger prints.

4 - If you don't want a bunch of oily swords hanging around, another thing you can do is coat it with a carnuba type of car wax. This will give the blade a nice wax "shell" to protect it.

5 - If you should come across a rusty blade, clean it with WD40 this can clear up a lot of it. For stubborn rust, try a synthetic sanding pad such as the ones available from 3M. Use the finest grade, as to not scratch up the blade. Don't use this product on chrome plated blades.

With a little preventative maintenance your sword will stay looking new for a long long time.
