I am fully aware of what you describe. No need to get hostile. It seems as though you carry some pent up anger.

I was only saying that you were making blanket statements as to the durability of a RMK supplied sheath that are in part untrue, and also to the lack of durability of a leather handled RMK that is inaccurate to say the least. If you have a preference for another material, that is cool, but to denigrate leather as some grossly inferior material is disingenuous.

FYI, CLP blows and if you are on a "sustained combat operation", you better have enough of a good lubricant for your M4 to keep it running. So by de facto, you would have a bit for your knife if needed.

Oh, I do live on a beach and have swam with a Randall for years. Let me repeat that, years. No lo problemo.
