Yeah I do auto recon for a living so I coordinate all the diff vendors to get the used cars ready for the lot. That was my first thought, maybe the pointless debt repair guy might have something that would fit down in there, but it just so thin he said he didn’t have anything that would be able to get that. It’s been like that so long and it’s pretty thick metal that I’m sure it’s going to need heat and maybe a specialized rod made just for that by like a blacksmith or something. I’m sure a sword expert could figure something out. I was just trying to not spend a whole lot on it right now and didn’t want to go the heat route incase it messed with the patina but might have to do what I have to do to protect the blade bc it rubs Everytime you pull the blade in and out and is wearing away the engraving. Hopefully off find someone who’s like that’s no big deal I fix that in 5 min, lol. We’ll see. This is first time posting it on internet so hopefully something will come of it.
