I've tried wearing it on my back like a claymore and on my hip.
It looks good both ways but when I try to draw it my arms seem to be an inch too short to draw it all the way out, I am always caught stuck with my arm stretched out as far as it will go and the last inch of the sword still in the scabbard and all the while I have a ridiculous look on my face like "almost there! almost there!! GRRRRR".
I don't want to shorten the sword and I don't want to carry around the scabbard in my hand all the time. What can I do?
I don't think I'm too short because I'm 5''9'. Should I get a different back holster?
Edit: It's a 39 Inch Broadsword.
Try a baldric. With your off-hand you may push the sheath back and away as you draw the sword.
