Someone mentioned sword holders as a possible new piece
from LEGO, but an idea made its way into my brain. We

lets them carry a sword at their belt (I've got a samurai with
his daisho worn in the classic style using this) and the second
lets you sling it over the 'figs back. Both methods look great.

Heroes pack. The wakizashi is a katana with a clipped-off
end. The over-the-shoulder baldric looks just as good if
not better with the big chrome sword.)
