Well, my thinking in the way of sheath is, knives are carried more than used so i'd like mine in a nice fitting rig that rides where and how it's supposed to. I'd rather not have a cheapo sheath dangling or swinging around or allowing the knife to get lost or move around too much. It's like buying a fancy rifle and trying to transport or store it in a cheapo on sale junk gun case. I for one don't see a problem with $40-50 bucks spent on a sheath for a $90 knife. Thats whats great about america, you can make *most* of your own decisions....at least for now...
