I don't reAlly have anything relevant to say about the post but I'll tell you that the sheath that came with my Laredo Bowie San Mai 3 version scratched the blade, I was pretty pissed, I watched nutnfancys video on his Laredo a long time ago and rememberd how his sheath really scrapped up his blade, I'm was not as bad but still...on a almost 400.00 battle Bowie , you wouldn't expect that.
