Sounds like a well taken care of blade and sheath!
Makes the sound boring, but at least it shows respect to the weapon. :-)
Actually, that's not totally true, the clack when the sword fully seats in the sheath can be used for other sword sounds as well.
Either way, an excellent and clean recording, thank you for sharing it with us!
