Benefit: This combat scabbard has a sharp blade on the outer edge, allowing you to use it as a weapon.

It is a question of degree. To be considered metal for the purposes of materials it has to be substantially of that material. Scabbards are usually leather, and a surrounding fringe of metal is not significant enough to qualify to my judgement. However, this is a very easy thing to house rule. Just make a copy of the scabbard in the editor, check the box for "Contains Metal?", replace the core version in the Replaces Thing ID field on the right, and then save.
