Collapsing the Sword
Lightly touch the ground with the tip of the sword and pat the end of the hilt with the palm of your hand, retracting the sword section by section. Don't be rough or force the sword as you will create misalignment of the segments. Similarly, try to avoid dropping or hitting the sword and avoid getting sand or dirt into the joints. If you do jam the sword sections, lightly manipulate the sections until they free up. You may use graphite powder to help lubricate the sections if you have jammed them but under no circumstance use oils, WD-40 or similar products as the sword will not stay open.
