HEMA Hack: Self cleaning sword scabbard
A simple hack idea this one. So, I'm assuming that everyone keeps their swords in plastic tubes? If you don't, you should. They're cheap, they're light and they stop your swords getting bent out of shape when you transport them. You can pick them up at the hardware store for around $7 here in New Zealand and they're already the right length.
This is a little idea to improve the storage of sword in these tubes. The goal is to create a self-cleaning and superior storage environment.

The result is that every time I draw or sheath my sword it gets a light coat of oil and hopefully takes any of the dust/finger oil I've missed off the blade.
The final step in this hack is too throw in a bunch of the silica moisture absorber p…
