All I can say is that the sword was a pain in the behind. But the holster for the sword is pretty unique. I took a 50 lbs. magnet and sewed it into the fabric of the trenchcoat, and (using liquid nails) nailed another to the sword closest to the hilt. This allowed me to easily pull out the sword. And for putting it away(when the gophers come runnin) I just rest it on my back and the magnet catches the sword, just like in the game.
