Sir Patrick:
"Sword In a Box"?  Wasn't that a Saturday Night Live bit? ;)

Thorsteinn:
If I get a sword with inlay it'll say Brynjubítr (maille-biter) in Futhark. :D

Yeah, the song you're thinking of started up in my head when I wrote that message. :)

Sir James A:

Not that I could figure out, since they're spelled the same, but I'm far from even passably acceptable at this - I haven't taken a class in almost 15 years.

It says it's a noun, so it wouldn't be proper for the action of sheathing, but maybe we should mix up a word or two here and there, so that after we're gone, and the conspiracy theorists find out about the order, and they find our gear, and they translate it and say "wait, there's something not quite right with that. just who WERE they, anyway??" ... then, we can laugh about it from the other side. :D

I was going to write my above post with "Step 1", but you guys got it covered already. ;)
