Line 7:
* ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'': Kenshin uses his sheath to land the finishing blow on Jin-E in their battle.
** Hiko Seijuro XIII does use the "sheathed sword as a shield" version—then he draws, while still blocking, and absolutely pwns Kenshin.
* Nameless of ''[[Sword of the Stranger]]'' refuses to draw his sword, making him this by default.
* ''[[Inuyasha]]'' frequently uses the sheath of his [[Empathic Weapon]] Tessaiga as a shield, since being able to contain Tessaiga's power means the sheath is capable of generating a fairly powerful barrier. He's also made inventive use of the sheath's ability to call the sword into it on at least one occasion.
* ''[[Bleach]]'': when Ikkaku isn't fighting with shikai / Bankai, he [[Dual-Wielding|dual wields]] his sword and sheath.
Line 23:
* O-Ren Ishii briefly dual wields her sword and sheath at the beginning of her fight with Beatrix in ''[[Kill Bill]]''.
* The [[So Bad It's Good]] film ''Blood and Bone'' has the hero, Bone, fight the [[Big Bad]] in front of the [[Bigger Bad]]. The [[Big Bad]] being armed with a sword, the [[Bigger Bad]] has his henchmen give him one as well. [[The Hero]] just throws away the sword and fights with the sheath.
* ''[[House of Flying Daggers]]'': Mei manages to defend herself rather well against 4 mounted spear men using only a sword scabbard for a weapon while {{spoiler|pretending to be blind}}.

* The Ronin's Sayageki ability in ''[[Etrian Odyssey]] 2 Heroes of Lagaard''.
* Mitsunari in ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' uses his sheathed sword against opponents he doesn't want to kill, such as knocking Kanbe unconscious by hitting him in the face with it.
** In the [[Anime of the Game]], Sasuke dual-wields with a sword and sheath when caught off guard by another ninja.
* Occasionally done by Zhou Tai as a juggling attack in the various ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' and ''[[Warriors Orochi]]'' games where he is given a katana. Then again, he's one of maybe two characters to even have a scabbard in the first place.
* Guy from ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]'' does this as part of his fighting style.
