Is there a way to prevent the sheath from tearing?

Not that I figured out, I discarded the sheath that came with this and made my own out of leather instead.

No the sheath that came with the sword is cheap and usless. I suggest either reinforce the sheath with better threads or make a sheath of your own

There is a plastic insert inside the nylon. I've never had an issue with my knife being loose or exposed if it is buckled.

As new, the sheath has proved to have excellent retention. It is, however, commonly known among aficionados that the retention will loosen over time with repeated use (possibly due to the sheath being softer than the handle and wearing more in comparison to sliding/flexing?) but can be fixed with simple fixes easily found on Youtube.

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.

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

I never dropped my sheath. The sheath is cheap plastic but probably wont crack for reasonable drop.

It locks in pretty solid. I don't know that there is anything that is going to keep a knife in a sheath if your are tangled in debris. You should already have it out at that point. Down side: Knife is titanium and it cannot be sharpened.

The sheath that came with mine is not loose at all. It's pretty secure, to the point where if the ax is tilted just a bit to far forward of back, it won't slide line up and fit. The top is fairly well protected by the flap that covers it.

I have not had to deal with this type of problem on my 'Stik', but will certainly check that the knot on the bottom of mine is secure. I would suggest calling Fiskars directly, and speaking with one of their customer service representatives about your problem. This tool is still one of my favorites, and has served me well !

They make a belt clip that attaches to the sheath, it's about $10. Or u could use paracord on the sheath and run a belt through it.

I got mine a few years ago, there seemed to be a problem with the sheath at that time (I fixed it with a couple staples @ the retention spot.) Since then I read that they fixed the problem. To answer your question, at first the retention sucked! But they are a great company, and with one email, they sent me the newer improved sheath, for free of course, and it is WAY better. The knife will not fall out now. Over all, a great LITTLE knife!

The sheath has a relatively thin leather loop. It does not snap. My opinion is that its main utilization purpose seems targeted more towards the thinner European-style belts. Don't let this little flaw dissuade you from buying this Mora, as it is a great knife! I sincerely mean that!

I use a pair of sharp cloth scissors an apply light tension on both sides of the scissors with my off hand. I've had no problems while doing it this way.

It's not that it's not compatible with the sheath but there's a hard sheathe in your nylon case you have to acully look while putting the blade away I know it's a bit annoying

I like mine, the sheath lacks something that would be better. A popular plastics type would have been better.

Try spraying a little Teflon on the rope. The rope sometimes stick together from being wound too tight.

You would have to sew through the sheath. Then after you take the wire out of the sheath when your done it would look pretty chewed up I would think.
