Actually, not a dingo, a boxer.

One of our foster dogs has a thing for untreated and lightly-treated leather. When we first got him, he chewed on the belt-loop of my new Ka-Bar's sheath. A year later, I get a new sheath. Sheathed knife sits in a bag, in my closet for months. I walk in my bedroom and find the knife, sans-sheath, lying on the floor.

This is what remains:

He ate the whole damn thing!

He managed to cut himself a little, but I couldn't find out where because the bleeding stopped quickly. Over the next several days, he regurgitated the sheath, rivets and all. He's fine, though I did consider tossing him in the wok with some kim-chee.
 
Wow!!! Probably lucky the handle isn't all chewed up.

I hope there wasn't a sharpening stone on the sheath ;)
 
Maybe soak the next sheath in hot sauce.

You want to punish me further? It was bad enough having to clean up the puked sheath messes around the house. It has been my experience that dogs gulp first and worry about the consequences later. The time difference between, "Yummy food," and "Holy crap my mouth/belly/ass is on fire!" is too long from which to learn. I had a beagle that consumed a bowl of cayenne-laced massage oil. Midway through, she started licking the carpet, trying to get rid of the heat. Then she went back to the bowl.

This what I was thinking. Whew, close one.

Liked the kim chee idea though....

:D

The handle had a couple of teeth marks. And the sheath was standard from the factory, no stone.
 
wow. rough. eat the dog. get ferrets :)
 
You know, I got that Extreme Sheath from Kabar, to replace my leather, and so far, I been pretty happy with its performance.

Something to look at, that and I still have a leather sheath in reserve.

I had a boxer that ate my hat and sunglasses, DVD cases, books, pillows, a whole papaya.....you name it, she ate it! I miss her though! Had to get rid of her because of housing.
