Jon_Peterson Knife Enthusiast Registered: 03/16/06 Posts: 160 Loc: Denver, CO	I wanted to ask the forum if there are some indicators whether an black RBJ sheath was dyed in the field or done by Johnson/Randall. I don't have any photos at the moment but the sheath in question is brown on the back, inside the throat and the underside of the keeper strap. In other words these areas were not dyed black. Thanks Jon

Example: British Commandi knife, sold at the Randall shop in a Johnson (split loop) black sheath. Best, Capt.

It has to be a home dye job then. Obviously it will affect the value of the knife but it was an okay deal anyway. Jon
