My Sgian Dhu was just a cheap production model that I have had for 27 yrs. .. the sheath has seen better days by now, so in the event I did'nt mind doing it. I did ask the garage man exactly what P1M mentioned .. to leave 1/2" of the blade so I could glue it back into the sheath, but he could'nt have heard me or did'nt understand what I was getting at and he cut it right down to the handle. Unfortuntaely I wasn't there when he did it as they were busy at the time.
