8...10 years and CS is still using that P.O.S. sheath?!?
My G.I. Tanto, and (not a Bowie) Bushman came with a "secure-ex" sheath. I kept the knives, however, I put the sheaths in the dumpster.
An empty Cheerio's box and a bit of duct tape made fine non-dulling sheaths for my G.I. Tanto, and (not a Bowie) Bushman.
My only other CS belt knife is a older Finn Bear, that has the nylon cloth sheath. It don't dull the knife, so no need to make a new one.
I don't understand it. Two of my sub $15 Mora's have a "plastic" sheath that don't dull the knife. Why can't CS match that technology? Aside from lost sales, and a poor reputation, what have they gained by switching from leather, to nylon cloth, then to whatever glass re-enforced plastic the "secure-ex sheath is made of?
I "know" I'm not the only one who won't buy another CS belt knife, so long as they include that sheath.
Why should I spend what CS charges for a belt knife, then turn around and either buy an aftermarket sheath, or bum a empty cereal or shoe box and a roll of duct tape to make a sheath for it?
I can get a Buck 119, 120, or 124 with a leather sheath for less than most of the CS offerings.
