Those sheaths give provenance. I would keep them immaculate and get the new sheaths for beaters. Danny Gutcher (he makes them now) sells extra sheaths.Model 19, 25 & 27 mini here. Contemplating sending them all back for new sheaths. They were my deceased step-dad's and he kept them stored in the sheaths so the brass discolored the leather. But the biggie is that he wrote in ink pen on the back what model they were. I guess the embossed number wasn't good enough for him. I'm sure he'd been drinking when he did that.
At least I'd have some "beater sheaths" if they were replaced, but damn! The sheaths are as nice as the knives!
