a sword's pocket, dressing lethal hardware in leather so you don't bleed on your hip
means A sheath, usually of leather or metal, made to hold and protect the blade of a sword or dagger.
from From Old French escauberc, a word stitched together from Germanic roots — likely something meaning 'sword' (related to the source of 'sabre') joined to a root for 'protect' or 'cover' (a cousin of 'harbour' and 'hauberk,' that armoured shirt). So at heart it means 'blade-shelter,' which is exactly what it is. English borrowed it after the Norman Conquest and slowly mangled the spelling into the lumpy 'scabbard' we have now.
