Stop using back scabbards

Lindy's right in that case. Back scabbards make no sense for long blades. It might work if you have a knife scabbard up by your shoulder, but anything longer and the biomechanics don't work.

Talk about strawmanning. Back scabbards were only used to transport battlefield weapons in certain areas (like east asia), not to quick draw them.
They're really not something a guy who focus on western european history should talk about. Pls post link of the video in question so I can hear what he says.
