I am also curious about your sword. What type of steel is it made of and how well do you upkeep it. I would assume without many opportunities to get it in a dry environment, it could be prone to rusting. I can only imagine that you carry/use lots of oil and give her time out of a scabard.
As a fellow backpacker and blade enthusiast I have to wonder the task at hand for your longsword. However out in the middle of nowhere I have found it very therapeudic to find and care for ones belongings.
So how difficult is the upkeep and is it worth it to carry on your travels accounting for the passion you have for it.
