Hey Chris,

I've got a burning question I hope you can answer for me. Okay, here goes:

I recently bought a SOG S1 Commemorative Bowie from a fellow forumite but he didn't have the sheath for it. I went to the SOGKnives.com web site and purchased a leather sheath for the Commemorative Bowie there to the tune of $25.00.

The sheath arrived today but I was confused and disappointed when I opened the package and found this sheath inside...

... which is a sheath for a RECON Bowie (I know because I already have 2 Recons)


Now; Here's what I was expecting to see when I opened the package, according to what is shown on SOG's web site...

So, my question naturally is... WT(BLEEP)??! Did someone at SOG make a mistake or has SOG's extraordinary quality slipped to some psuedo one size fits all standard. I mean, I thought the S1 was SOG's flagship knife and was deserving of it's Viet Nam heritage in it's accessories as well. (Note: The packing slip lists the Item Number as: *L1/L2 and Description as:LEATHER SHEATH FOR SB & TRI.) Is there no means of obtaining the proper sheath, ie; the traditional VN era model w/ sharpening stone pouch?

Sorry for taking a couple days to get back to you. I was at the Blade show for the past four days.

I am not sure what happened but my first guess is someone made a mistake. The part number listed on the packing list is correct. I'll look into this and get the right sheath out to you. I apologize for the confusion and sometimes we do make mistakes.
 
Thanks for the response Chris. I don't mind it taking you a few days to catch up with me, it's cool. I wish I could've been at the Blade show myself. :(

I greatly appreciate your personal involvement in assisting me with the sheath issue. Thank you!

What would you have me do with the sheath that I have, ship it back to you guys?
