Does it make much difference, has anyone got a pic. Is there hole under there that needs filling or what. I like the chapes but they can wreck - as I have found out !!
No, the scabbard is well stitched all the way down. It might be a little less well polished and dry, so you probably want to treat it with wax/shoe polish or something like that. I did the removal with only one khuk, so the usual disclaimers apply
Unfortunaltely I do not have a digital camera here, or I would post a picture.
I actually had a little difficulty doing this as I did'nt want to cause any damage. I tried the heating method which did'nt work so I used leatherman wave small flat screwdriver and karda to lift it off - no damnage and no hole to cover - stoked !!
I think it is better as u don't get stabbed when u walk it also give it a more stealthy look and like ghurka says "touristy".
I feel a little bad as I think it might have more significane than a simple gaurd - anyway, looks cool and doesnt stab me hehehe !!
