What Knives? What Sheathes?No!
A nicker isn`t a neck knife!
It`s a traditional german hunting knife and was intended for killing roe and deer by piercing through the spinal marrow in the neck. That`s why it`s got it`s slim shape.
Nowadays it`s also part of the traditional bavarian costume.
The sheath you mention holds the knife by friction and is carried in the pants knife pocket.

Wolfgang,
If possible, perhaps you could post a picture?. I am always interested in other country's history and traditions.
My wife took my digi cam to Italy, that`s why I`ve to post some pics of production knives and sheaths.
