I just got my Timber Rattler a couple days ago but the belt loop on the sheath is poorly sewn on, so I'm looking for a new sheath, any suggestions?

I've had the same issues, so I took my to my neighborhood shoe maker. Old timer, who fixed it with ease. better than it was before. Did try local sporting good stores to no avail. Hope this help you.

I got my Timber Rattler over a month ago and I love the knife, but the sheath is pure junk. I work with leather and so I made a custom sheath for it which turned out very nice. You are not going to find any sheath this size for sale so if you can't make one yourself then find someone who does work with leather such as a saddle maker and have them make you one.

Hi It sounds like you may a different sheath! My belt loop is not sewn but double rivoted. Try to check with manufacturer. I am completely happy with mine. Great product for the price!! GOOD LUCK!!

The knife and sheath that I recieved I had to send to Schrade because the sheath did not fit the knife. Schrade contacted me after they recieved the knife and they told me that they were not aware of that problem and that they would get with the manufacturer to resolve the problem. Other than that it would make a great neck knife if they fixed the sheath problem.

I found a great ballistic nylon sheath that I really like. The old plastic case Gerber used to sell was garbage and they stopped making it. I found the nylon one on Amazon.

I just spoke to Crimson Trace. They confirmed that new models of the SRH, including the Alaskan, do not fit this grip. There is no estimated date for repair. I'm sufficiently irritated by the handling of this matter that I will not purchase a Crimson Trace product of any type in the future.

So was mine ... it will loosen up and be just fine. I worked the leather by continually putting the gun in and moving it around while in the holster. Also, by squeezing the leather from barrel side to trigger guard side and back and forth it loosened up. When I first got mine it was so tight it activated the laser switch. It only took about an hour of working the leather to make a good snug but comfortable fit around the gun. "Keep working it".

This is for the answer given by Tim on January 9:Sorry, but the blade isn't TR65 Pakistani steel. The Pakistani steel part is correct, but the TR65 isn't a part of the steel type. It's the Timber Rattler model ID, TR65.I see this mistake often as that's the way it appears on the blade, and it's an easy mistake to make since most of us aren't metallurgists.

I dont hate the sheath enough to look for an alternative. It has a plastic liner, and a pouch big enough for a blastmatch and a Swiss army pocket tool/knife. It could have come with something better than a velcro fastener. But the knife is a superb design.

Sorry for delay in responding. The handle flares quite a bit at the end? Are you thinking even more? Also, the product no longer comes with a sheath - we had made a very fancy, but ultimately not very durable, sheath out of clear plastic. Instead offer a separate leather sheath with a lifetime guarantee. In the future, may offer a permanent blade guard free with each tool, but still a work in progress.

The sheath does have a thin nylon fabric belt loop which would probably work ok -- but this hatchet is pretty sharp which could be a problem if it slipped out! I'd rather carry it in a day pack or something.

Prices on Amazon fluctuate, I got it for 40 shipped. I have seen it priced at $26, but this is without the nice leather sheath.

I am no expert by any stretch. I have not had that problem. I'd check to make sure the knives are in tight,that they are square and parallel and don't taper down. I wish I could be of more help to you. I have found the technical support at Grizzly to be very good. Your belt is tensioned correctly ? Good luck and if you can let me know if and how you got it taken care of. Steve

What can I do, I already complained that my sheath doesn't fit properly with the knife but I got no responce. I love the knife but I haven't been able to carry it while camping, way too dangerous without a proper sheath

You probably have an improperly sized sheath strap. Mine worked fine right out of the box.

My Trailmaster came with the plastic sheath and I am very happy it is not leather for a high carbon blade which is subject to rust.This blade is very big,I will take it with me when shtf occurs,it would be able to handle any task put before it.

Mr. Garza, I don't know if the Timber Rattler will fit the sheath but I didn't know if my Western Bowie would fit either but it did! If the knife is 9 1/2 " long, if you think the Bowie is of similar width, I'd chance it. The sheath is very well made, I know I was impressed. Hope this helps, Gerrit.

I also am having the same problem. I called the customer service number & she said to make a loop and get it just right and it comes right off. Not on mine. There doesn't seem to be a slot where the old belt can slide off. Help?? Anyone??

I have one with the number on the blade next to the handle. I don't remember, if the one I bought is the one I currently have. The one I bought through Amazon was recalled because of the sheath, so, I sent it back (maybe it was just the sheath???), and they put some more metal rivets in it or sent me a new sheath??? I had heard that one or more persons had tried to holster the blade upside down and it cut the stitching out of the sheath. Unless there is more than one recall, this is the only one I have heard of. They reinforced the stitched side with the metal rivets, so, you couldn't cut yourself or let the blade drop out and cut your toes off??? I have one with the number on the blade next to the handle.
