Joe,

I prefaced my comment about Gary's request by saying "If I put myself in Bo's shoes, I'd much rather have my brand on the sheath as opposed to Heiser's". How natural is that?

Regarding your earlier questions:

What would they be samples for? The sheath itself which was a known entity, for the logo stamp only?


I agree: I can't think of a scenario other than those samples being for Bo. Let me give you a plausable explanation: Bo sends the stamp to Heiser and asks for samples. The Heiser sales guy tells our leather worker friend to "Make up some different Randall sheaths with the new Randall stamp we just received". Our friend makes ~ 10 sheaths and lets the sales guy know. The sales guy says "I only need about a half dozen", so our friend sits on the remainder until the operation shuts down and brings them home along with a lot of other miscellanous Heiser stuff. Easily believable!
