I got my broadsword last week (after a very long wait) and the hilt has become very loose for some reason.
Somebody told me that the little pommel nut at the end of the sword could be adjusted to tighten or loosen the hilt. I tried making it tighter with a pair of needlenose pliars but that only seemed to make things worse.
Does anybody have good care tips for Chinese Broadswords? I want to make sure this one lasts me all the way to black sash.
Heres a picture of what it looks like (not the exact one I have, but same model):
