The scabbard post is intended to fit tightly into the notch of the saber guard; however, due to variance of leather thickness, one may have to adjust the scabbard post. To adjust the post, use a wide, flat-tipped screwdriver wrapped in a soft fabric, insert it between the scabbard post and scabbard, and twist gently.
