| to answer your question, try holding the mouth of the scabbard, about an inch below it actually, and pulling it towards your hip. with the draw push your right arm to the left and bend the wrist to the right. this creates a bit more resistance on the draw, and creates a higher velocity of blade when it leaves the scabbard. i'm unsure as to whether this damages the scabbard, but if i remember correctly, a well made one has a volume of space that suspends the edge of the blade while you do this so that you don't destroy your scabbard.
hope that helps. |
