Cordura Sheath for 10" knives from scrapyard store

Cordura Sheath for 10" knives from scrapyard store - 09/08/10 04:32 AM

I have a question regarding the Cordura "Sheath for 10" knives". I purchased the sheath before the knife(bought the sheath last week). I just got the knife today. When I put the brand new dogfather knife in to the sheath, the knife cut through the bottom of the sheath. About 2 inches of the knife is exposed through the bottom of the sheath. I did not force the knife into the sheath. I just slid the knife in, not forcefully (i literally took the knife out of the cardboard sheath and placed it into the cordura sheath).

Also, even if i secure the knife using the top snap/buckle a small portion of the knife pokes through the bottom of the sheath. I did not think this should happen, especially since the knife is advertised for the dogfather.

I did not even know that the knife had cut through the sheath. The dogfather went through the bottom of the sheath like butter. I guess this is a testament to how sharp the knives are from the factory, its unfortunate that I had to waste 20 on a sheath that does not seem to actually fit the knife.

Has anyone else had this problem? or can you send me a picture of what your dogfather looks like in the scrapyard 10 in cordura sheath.

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!


Here is the knife going through the sheath:

Even when the knife is secured, a small portion of the knife pokes through:

Sounds to me like you somehow ended up with the wrong sheath. Shoot Renee an email.

Something isn't right. My Dog Father LE and my Busse Bushwackers both will go in the SY 10" sheath with no problem and no poking through the bottom.

Definately the wrong sheath. When properly secured, both straps should go around the handle. Ditto what Jroden5446 says.

I think the guys got it figured out for you. Did that with a B-11 a while back.

Yup, like they said, Regulator sheath. Hey, stuff happens sometimes. Oh By the way, they DO also sell a kydex sheath for the DF, but I like the pouch on the Cordura one.

Hey, stop by the flea markets at the intersection of hiwy 60 and T highway just about 5 miles east of poplar bluff. They got some Hobi kayaks for sale.

Thanks everyone for your help with answering my sheath question!!

I was actually able to use my Dogfather this weekend and it was great. A friend of mine was struggling to cut the fire wood with a generic axe, I stepped up with the Dogfather and ended up doing all of the chopping. It is such a great knife!! I only have a Scrapper 5 and the Dogfather, i dont get the chance to really use them since I live in the city of chicago, so i have only seen videos/picture of how well these knives perform... I was totally impressed!!


After I did some serious chopping, i started to play around with the knife to see how quickly I could chop through a pice of fire wood. Here is a pic:

I prefer splitting my wood with a knife it's easier for me and I have more control. Glad you got it out.
