Joe, my memory may well be faulty and perhaps it was a different model.

Now that I think about it, I do remember you showing two sheaths, one a Heiser and one a brown button Johnson, both model 1s. And certainly one of the ebony handled knives model 1 in the original comparison that launched the whole thing was sheathed in a Johnson brown button.

So .. I retract the statement. Let me re-look at the old info and see if anything can be gleaned from this blind alley. Thanks, regards.
