Quote: The "Gloucester Goth" wore his knife in a sheath strapped to his upper right leg-- "quick-draw dagger fashion." This technique was first used with an akinakes (dagger) and it became all the rage from the Kuban to Arabia and Britain. Since we were listing "maybe" weapons, I thought it might fit the scenario.
I agree. The mode of wear--"strapped to his upper right leg"--implies the knife/dagger wasn't just used for table service. It may have been constructed as a table knife but if it was used as a dagger, it was a weapon.
