@allabtMando I agree. Now the world is full of guns, nuclear weapons and chemical warfare weapons. I might be crazy, but I wish guns were never created.
While high carbon steel swords do require maintenance, they're not as vulnerable to rusting or pitting as one may think. First off, body oil doesn't rust blades, its the salts from sweat that do. As long as you aren't sweating, touching the blade won't really harm it. It is in fact much healthier for the blade to be kept out in the open as moisture may build up in the scabbard. Water and humidity is the main cause of rust.
wait wait wait. did I hear this right, "never store your sword in its scabbard." so when I'm not using a sword i should just let it sit there, grass, dirt, floor, wall, etc. without the thing specifically made to protect a sword from such since they made more sophisticated swords? Someone please tell me they are wrong...
Scabbards and sheaths are for the safe carry of an edged weapon to protect you and the edge from damage. This however is not the preferred long term storage method for any steel. Tight fitting scabbards are prone to trap moisture from the air and other sources. And leather is usually tanned with chemicals or lacquered to condition it; great for the leather but bad for your steel long term.
@HuchiaZ If at all possible store your blades in a cool dry environment after cleaning and protecting them. Long term storage could mean months to years depending on the environment it’s kept in
@MuseumReplicasLtd I take back what I said, (unless it work word) but would a material like some kind of hard plastic be able to hold a blade longer? I'm asking this because I prefer to use my sword as both decoration and practice/spar
That's interesting about the scabbard and storage. I didn't know that. I ended up using my choji oil and puff ball to clean my longsword and claymore. :P
Dude I have a Katana and a wakazushi and used them in the winter stored it in its scabbered for a long time, and it became a little rusty and it still has the same effectiveness, so don't really worry about it enless your life depends on your blade.
Well I don't know it is true or not from I heard, I hear it could rust fast when it have scabbard on because of the moister on the air that people breath out and in (tiny water or vaporization) and tiny particular could dive inside the scabbard and rust the sword in the scabbard without letting knowing the seller is selling rusty swords inside the scabbard.
I wish that swords were a bigger part of today's society. They're just so amazing, and beautiful. A fine sword is a work of art.

@MuseumReplicasLtd Thx, it makes sense. so in curiosity then, would non-conditioned leather work? or am I being naive about leather (that's sold)?

why dont you keep your sword in the scaberd for long term storage?

@Indabaz i heard the leather can cause moisture to rust the blade

@NakedCatsProductions Yes, that is correct. Keeping it on a mount for display is a better idea than th keep it in a leather or wooden scabbard.
If you had one made of metal(or possibly even fiberglass) then it'd be better, but still not the best idea.

hm.. why cant one store the sword inside the scabbard?
i'm thinking about buying one for display, but it will be displayed inside its scabbard..

The scabbard gathers miniscule amounts of moisture and that condenses inside. If you store it inside the scabbard, it will start rusting.
