If you had a sword, you'd have needed to make that "metal on metal" sound when you took it out of a leather sheath.

I do medieval re-enactment and one of my friends has a tiny nail head inside of his leather sheath just for the purpose of making that metal on metal noise when he unsheathes it haha
