OK guys, this is about those nasty sheaths. If you don't want to read about it, I respectfully ask you to move on to another thread. Read at your own risk!


OK, well, a pretty eventful night. I was mindin'my own business, when Joe Dorsky "innocently" took a shot across the bow, by making a comment:

Why I ask, would any honest, well researched subject be haunting?

Joe, I do respectfully ask you to respect the work of other people in this forum. To make a statement like the above is a barely disguised attempt to marginalize opinions that differ from your own.

If it has dragged on and began to haunt you, it may be because I have hounded you to debunk MY observations. Of which you have skillfully tapdanced around like a seasoned politician.

I would have given it up long ago, had you proved me wrong.

Heck, I must have influenced you in some way, you dedicated 2 of the 22 points to my number stamp observations, so apparently it has some importance.

Yet you marginalize it by saying its a non issue.

I made a statement on the other thread that I would like to experiment with.

In case you missed it, here it is:

You know, you asked me on another thread to not look at the back of the sheath for identification. I think I can reasonably do that now Joe. I do believe I can descern a Heiser or Heiser/HKL west and horizontal, from a Johnson east RMK.

I would like to engage you in that. I will make it easy on you. Block out the snap so I can't make an easy observation.

If you choose to engage me, make sure the photos are clear and front on.

What say you? I'm putting it on the line here Joe.
