Go TJ!
That's about the way a discussion that Dad (Sandy) and I had a few years back went. Bottom line is it's what one wants to call it. I still have gut grumblings when someone calls them a "holster" though. Seems most prevalent thought is differential between soft and hard, but have seen plenty of museum pieces - swords, rapiers, etc. - with soft floppies dressed with metal throats and tips.
Probably one of those conversational topics best suited for folks that can't catch fish. Bite is on!
