sheath

Scabbard, a container for a sword or other large blade. If it is a container for a gun use holster instead.

• When the sheath contains a weapon, use sheathed.
• When the weapon is partially sheathed, consider using unsheathing.
• When the sheath is visible but the weapon is completely out of the sheath already, use unsheathed.
• Weapons covered in a cloth bag should use weapon bag instead.
