Alternative title: Are Alchemical Bombs thrown?
Usage a holster or sheath shaped for a one-handed thrown weapon of light Bulk or less
So a item in a shadow sheath needs 4 things to work.
It must be a weapon.It must be one-handed.
It must be light bulk or less.
And it must be thrown.
An Alchemical Bomb is a weapon (unlike say a Shield bash or Fist)
It is one-handed.
It is light bulk.
But it doesn't have the thrown trait. It says it is thrown in it's description and it has a range of 20 feet but no trait.
The only reason I think this could go either way on table variation is because the Shadow Sheath doesn't actually ask for the thrown trait, just a "thrown weapon".
What do you all think?
Once.
I would say yes and no.
Yes. You could store a bomb inside.
But, no, you would not get infinite bombs from that. The write-up specifically points out that items with Activations don't get it reset with a new copy. A bomb explodes, and I think that would count as not being able to be reused.

Are Alchemical Bombs thrown?
Yes.
Bombs are martial thrown weapons with a range increment of 20 feet.
The write-up specifically points out that items with Activations don't get it reset with a new copy. A bomb explodes, and I think that would count as not being able to be reused.
Even more than that, Bombs are explicitly activated - it is just done as part of the Strike action.
The bomb is activated when thrown as a Strike—you don't have to activate it separately.
And the Consumable trait makes sure that the item is most definitely destroyed and not able to be reused.
