The scabbard design is structurally and functionally common to knife sheaths used in China, Mongolia, and Korea as well. The bar with ring is on the back side. The system was designed to attach to a chatelaine, or a frog made of thick leather and often decorated with silver, that the belt or sash was inserted through.
