Use of a sword's sheath as a weapon. If you still have the [[Cool Sword]], then you can [[Dual-Wielding|wield them both]], or just leave the sheath on to pack an extra punch. If someone is using the sheath instead of the blade, it may be because they aren't intending to kill their opponent. An [[Iaijutsu Practitioner]] may use the sheath as a primary weapon, for feinting or stunning, or to show that it's not yet time to [[Let's Get Dangerous|get dangerous]].
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'': Kenshin uses his sheath to land the finishing blow on Jin-E in their battle.
Line 57 ⟶ 56:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* ''[[No Need for Bushido]]'' uses this, combined with [[Calling Your Attacks]].
== [[Web Original]] ==
* ''[RWBY]]'' has a couple of examples: Blake's weapon Gambol Shroud has a sheath that is ''also'' a blade, somehow. Adam Taurus' sword actually has a ''gun'' as its sheath (together they are called Wilt and Blush); he can fire his sword hilt-first from the gun, but also attack normally with both, one in each hand.
