I have had the same problem with Deepeeka spatha. They make the sword and scabbard separatly and do not check for fit. Most sloppy. So in the end I did take the rasp to the mouth and solved most of the problem. It still sticks, but not nearly as bad. Turned out the blade was slightly warped. The sword Al Hamdd made me (Hamfelde Pompeji with a Nijmegen grip) was however spot on, so will have the next one done by them.
