outdoor edge wedge

[Lone Hunter]

Picked one up for $14. Cool little knife,takes a nice edge. My question is to owners of this knife,does the sheath dull the edge? I notice that after several draws,and resheathings I seem to get a little dullness about 1/4 the way down from the tip.

Thanks.

I've never had a problem with dulling as a result of the sheath. The blade has taken slices out of the sheath, in fact. Might be a bad heat treat.

Never has that I've noticed, but I carry my Wedge II a lot more than my Wedge. Love those blades, pure freaking cutters.

never had the problem with my wedge.

Never tried the wedge 2, how does it compare

It's conceivable that some sand or mud or a pebble could be stuck in your sheath about 1/4 of the way down from the tip. If so it shouldn't be hard to clean out.

Good point. I used to do some running around in the mud (cross-country hiking and slipping and falling) and one time when I drew my knife I heard it scratch. I had scooped up dirt on a previous slide, and it formed an abrasive liner inside the sheath.

It could be rubbing against the sheath as well. Kydex can be abrasive, if that's what the sheath is.

The Wedge sheath is Delrin, same as the handle.
