Everyone has seen the Crocodile Dundee movies, right?

You know that big knife he carries ("That's not a knife... THIS is a knife!")... He carries it in a sheath/scabbard thing, but with the handle hanging down. Is this really possible? What holds it in place, where he can just pull it down to use it?

I've wondered about that for years...

Or is it just Hollywood's version of reality again?
