Why do equipped items keep disappearing from the follower

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I am using Kharjo and every time I put a weapon on him it disappears! I tried enchanting the weapon and naming it, and even dropping it and making him pick it up and it still keeps happening. So far it has only occurred with Daedra weapons that i am aware of – I am still testing the issue.

What is causing this? Is anyone else having this problem?

Disappearing in what sense?

If you give your follower a weapon which has lower stats than what they have already it will not be equipped and will remain in their inventory.

However if you mean the weapon they take disappears completely from their inventory then it could possibly be a bug with Skyrim or the item in question is a Quest item and cannot be taken by a follower.
