Very true David. But the technique of holding the scabbard with the left hand tightly around it is not recommended--that's a good way to slice your hand if the blade protrudes between the two halves of the wooden sheath. The only thing preventing that is the rattan wrapping, and a sharp blade will go through rattan like a knife through butter.
