it was used by mounted samurai, mostly for cutting fodder, it's be shoved into their sash, the clip held it from slipping out. also used as a secondary if they were surprised when using it, essentially a classy kama. (discussed elsewhere here)

Drawing it out may now present a bit of a problem:-)
Poor Shashka... who might have had a crazy idea to mutilate her like that? KGB goons? “Midnight Express” jailers? |
