this pawn shop has two auctions running, one for the knife, and the other for the sheath. He knows what he has as the descriptions seem fairly accurate.
My guess is the pawn shop owner believes he can realize the most money this way. If you are interested in the knife, you obviously need the sheath also. But, if a guy has a knife w/o a sheath, he could go after the sheath alone and run the price up. This is speculation of course, but why else would you separate the knife/sheath package save to realize more $$?
I asked him and he replied that he did It in case someone already had the knife but just wanted the sheath. He will get more money selling it separately unless a collector bites the bullet and decides to spend the money to keep them together. Better than IBM stock again.

Problem with that theory, it better be an earlier knife, because RMK didn't use the Safariland sheaths that long. You will not the knife it a thick center spacer variety, which would be correct.
Ok this is probably what happened as I suspected it would. Guy sells sheath offline (error in listing, riiiiiiight) to someone that wants to put his newer knife in the sheath, for what reason, hard to say. So guy now has knife up with no sheath. WTF? Or, somebody got the sheath figuring it would minimize competition for the knife and will end up with both anyway.
