This may be off topic, but I really like Grant's style and imagination.

But to Tobus's question . . . I should point out that all my sgians have thin leather sheaths that never come out of the sock. I have to dig them out to resheath, but I am quite capable of gallantly sweeping the knife elegantly from my hose by simply lifting my leg and grasping the handle. I can either grasp in a stabbing fashion--for effect--or in a tool-like-fashion to open my lady's envelope.


The stabbing effect is for the young fellows who wanted to check what was under the kilt after a party. (It was done in a humorous way, not in any way actually violent.)

Style is very important. No one wants to look like a goober pulling a knife.

You can go to Hobby Loggy and purchase a small piece of leather or the hide of the Nauga beast, a bit of vinyl lacing, and make a new sheath that will work.
