Sheaths---gripe, gripe, gripe!!!

[aflatfoot]

I am re-posting this over here. Thanks for reading.

I have purchaed 2 knives in the past week that have come with sheaths. I know the sheath is an extra goodie and we should all be "grateful" when we get one but I would like to say a few things.

BM 42 sheath: I have been pumped about this knife since it came out. I finally got one. I open the box and the sheath.....yugh! It looks like they took a sheath that was laying around for a knife 2" shorter and jammed this knife into it! It doesn't fit, velcro is exposed on the sheath a good 1/2". Mike Turber, call benchmade and make them use your sheath when it comes out. Oh, the humanity!!!!

Microtech LCC: Okay, first of all I don't know why they incluede a sheath with this knife in the first place. Oh, now I know, so they could sew a big ugly shark patch on the front of it. This is nice for discrete carry. I am sure the guy at the grocery store will think I use it to carry innocent non-descript multi-tool...not.

Rant Mode Off.

P.S. MT fans, please don't kill me.

If you want to see a bad sheath, get a CS Bushman. Thank God for Normark!!!...

I think the bushman has a pretty good sheath for it's price. True it's just a leather sock, but at least it has a plastic liner and the leather is nice and thick. Also no stiches to tear and pull.

If you are interested in a sheath you should contact Gary ( G2 ). His sheaths are very well made and Gary's prices are reasonable.

One of the best sheath makers is Bob Schrap. Some of his work is pictured in KNIVES 2000. His prices are very reasonable. He advertises in KNIFE WORLD and his phone number is (414)771-6472 (evenings).
