Ronnie,
Don't panic, the shop will make it right. Take a breather bro.
Sorry Ronnie, but it fit when it left the shop...bend the back of the sheath away from the blade some and see if that helps...also first two pics show knife in backwards...

Warren there is no panic.....no panic at all. I don’t plan on sending it back. The sheath sucks and anything they send me to replace it will suck. I am just disappointed that this has happened....twice.

Scott there are pictures showing the knife in both ways. (I know the correct way to stick a Randall in it’s sheath.) I posted all the photos to show that It wouldn’t fit.

Ronnie, Upset or not, I do not see the need for all of this. You have made it very clear, over the past decade or so, of your preference for JRB's. This is just more of that. Good luck with your efforts to rectify your unhappiness with this package. Everyone: Let's keep it civil, please, Capt. Chris PS: It is a helluva' knife...CCS
It seems that the shop could not have set the snap if they did not get the knife into the sheath.
Maybe...it could be put up for sale here on the forum, and one of us will be quick enough to pick it up.
P.S.: The thickness of the guard can meet resistance against the sheath as the knife is pushed down into place. Hence DW's suggestion to bend the sheath back to make it flex at the throat. The sheaths are stiff and can take some "wearing in."

I wouldn't call this whiny if indeed the knife went out NOT fitting like that, but unless the wax (if a waxed) in the sheath had settled, which we have sometimes...but there is no way this left this bad of a fit...just no way...must be other semantics some where...
