Our customers have told us that they want the best performance at the lowest price. That is why I spend so much time looking through piles of scrap.

To be honest, I have not found left over sheaths that I could throw in on the knife price.

As always, I am on the look out for this type of opportunity and I will continue to do my best for you Dogs.

Please keep me up to speed on what you think is needed as we build this company

Everyone has a different opinion on what sheath they want. Instead of charging you for a sheath you dont like, the busse families let you procure your own. I like this stratagy better as it saves money in the long run. Besides it got me into making my own kydex sheaths.

I agree with you Rabid one.....alot of the folks who buy high end knives wnat high end sheaths....If it saves me money I would opt for not getting a sheath...and like you said...it helped you start making your own!

Well, different strokes for different folks! However, I have to admit that I made my own sheath for my Scrapper. It is the "plainest" of plain Janes, not much more than a couple of rectangular pieces of leather cemented together with some spacer pieces in between. Once I find my pack of needles I will drill some tiny holes and stitch the sheath together, along with the leather cement. I made the bottom piece longer so that I could fold it over for a belt loop, then cemented it in place, soon to be stitched also. Not pretty, but functional. It sure holds a great blade!

I like the option to buy a decent cheap sheath with your knife (or go to your favorite fitter to order one if you have money to burn...) Of course in Britain sheathless knives (Busse...) are a nightmare! (Unless you are happy paying import duties and shipping a couple of times sending your new toy to get sheathed in the US!!)

Good value knives with cheap optional sheaths, everyone wins!

Perfromance before beauty...I always say. A true Dog!

I would have gotten a tear in my eye if you had told me you found the materials in a scrap pile

Good idea <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Won't that make you a rat instead of dog ??

Dogs are good at sniffing things out and mauling Rats that run too slow...

I still say low prices with optional (low cost) sheaths being available works. Keep up the good work Dan and Patti.
