I'm with you Blondie. The Yard already charges almost twice of what it costs to ship to me (the price was on the Package). I know that most people are tired of hearing me voice my opinion of the sheath "option", but I still think that the no sheath policy is wrong. This is why I bought a few Fallknivens (WITH nice leather sheaths) instead of Swamp Rats.

Hi guys,

IIRC from this discussion at the Swamp, the decision to not include the sheath was due to the fact that so many people just toss them in favor of custom sheaths. Leaving the sheaths available as a choice prevents wasted money on the part of the company and the customer.

If you'd prefer, you can always think of it as $109 for a knife with an included sheath. IMO, still a bargain. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Added: I suppose the other option would be for them to add $18 to the price of every knife and send a sheath, thus making the purchase of a sheath mandatory. I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather that this wasn't the case.

i appreciate the choice, personally -- and fwiw, these are really good sheathes for $18, in my opinion... i like that, though -- why pay for something you are not going to use -- asking them to comp the sheath might be a mistake, since it would be coming off the bottom line (someone has to pay for it), it would just be reflected in the cost of the blade or the success of the company, which will affect things like quality and development going forward...


We need a 5/16" (or thicker) SR-77 BOWIE!!! (Written back in early '07 -- Regulator Premonition?)

Just got my Scrapper6---
edge SHAVING sharp--
feels great---
fit and finish execellent--
bought the sheath from S.Y.K. and it is a good choice if you are not getting custom pants made. I like the extra pocket and the good quality cordura. Blade retention is by velcro wrap and quite secure. MOLLE compat...good deal IMO.
Gonna have to go hiking this weekend....Got mine scary fast. Great service.


WOOF!
