Transporting swords

You can cover the blades or scabbards with either insulation foam tubes, or even pool floating foam tubes. The tip should be protected via a plastic prescription vial with a quarter dollar coin on the inside, to prevent the tip from sticking through. You can pack foam bubbles inside the vial to make it more stable.

To carry the swords you can use a ""Sportube", a disposable USPS/FedEX triangular tube, or even a small golf-club carrier bag (Not the huge ones!). If you go to a martial arts store, they also sell sword shoulder carriers for iaido and kendo practitioners.

G'luck!
