Feb 25 received battle rat 23 days after sending m.o.. In package was the knife in a paper towel tube and no sheath and no note about sheath,checked email and also no note to as why no sheath. Emailed to find out why and was told next week,Feb28 sheaths would be shipped. I just looked and it's Mar.25 and no sheath. In looking at web found out that swamprat is going to be at Knobcreek shoot next month Im going and if any one else is going to go maybe you ought take a paper tube if you buy a knife. P.S. I have used the knife and i think it's a super chopper and all around great knife.
