The scabbard was made to attach to a soldiers web belt in the military version. In the scabbard is a pocket containing little booklets. One contains instruction on how to use it in the civilian mode. The other one, which really intrigues me is the fighting mode which includes little drawings of Japanese soldier complete with slanty eyes being attacked using the Machete. I carry it in my car as an all purpose tool. Not for fightg off course but it is so well balanced it is a great brush cutter. Gord Woollard Retired cdn army WW2 and peacetime Vet.
