Not sure where this article belongs--maybe in a section regarding the cleaning, maintenance and safe-keeping of weapons rather than in the manuals of actual warfare.

One must never improvise with one's weapon, but use it solely for the purpose for which it was intended. This means, no surf boarding with one's shield, as if the battle were an Olypmic games competition.

Note that swords can be used to skewer and shish ke bob meat over an open fire, as this enacts the original intent of the weapon while providing a fire which could benefit the maintenance of the weapon.
