It happens now and then -- somebody runs a search, finds an old thread, and replies to it. You can still reply to threads no matter how old they are unless they've been moved to an archive (and we only archive threads when a forum gets so big it starts running slow).
Sometimes people deliberately go looking for a good old thread they remember to kick it back to the top for new members to enjoy and old members to enjoy again. There's a tremendous wealth of information buried in old threads around here....

P.S. I should probably explain SOG didn't have a presence on Bladeforums two years ago when this thread was started -- if Ron had been around then he would have helped the guy out immediately. So don't worry if you buy a Mini Pentagon yourself and it turns out to have a loser sheath nobody will respond to your complaint until two years later -- now Ron is here he responds fast (though he'll see your question sooner if you post it on the SOG forum at this website).
