I bought this knife. But why it is difficult to put up my knife into the nylon sheath? Maybe the knife is not compatible with the sheath.

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

My friend this is a "friction" sheath and should be a tight fit. That is to keep it from accedently falling out. As you use it it will become a bit more lose and should be fine hope this helps! Btw this is one of my favorits now!

i dont have any issue with it can you see anything inside the sheath? or i suppose it could be a defect

I agree with the two previous answers, I've had no problem with putting it up

Not as sold. You would have to do some alteration and additions to the sheath. Its a good idea isnt it. But altering the sheath may cause problems of its own.

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.

No, these guys are missing out not making a sheath for this machete...I bought the compatible nylon sheath.

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

There is a distinct click when I sheath the blade. & by far one of the tights hugs on a blade I have. I have turned the knife upside down on mine & shook it several times without it falling out.

The knife area is different but I was able to put 2 different knives in. Are your's too big or have you just not found the slits

I don't yet own this knife, but do want to say thanks for this great question. Was just looking over the QA before ordering and it simply never occurred to me a sheath might be available. Duh. And boy, would that be useful. A search of Amazon brought up a lot of individual sheathes and sets, making me see why a recommendation would be helpful. :-) Since no one has yet made a suggestion, I'm going to pick one of the colored sets with sizes best for this and my other knives to order it with this knife.

Turn it upside dow and place your foot into the handle. push down really hard on the blade and you should here a snap and then it will be sturdier. This should solve the problem. Feel free to contact me again if you still can't get it.

It does, how ever it's very stiff, you might want to just leave it in the sheath. Nice knife, I'm enjoying mine!

Hey Christine, Sorry but I won't be much help. I bought those knives for someone else. I'll ask them and see if they could let me know. Good Luck and Happy Holidays

Paul, Admittedly the knife was machined blade to 'spring' to tightly - mine is tight also. I could/can open mine even with mild arthritis in my thumb. I would use a small drop of WD 40 on each blade joint and work it a number of times, it should loosen.

I was curious about this question and I conducted a quick experiment. I got a plastic ziplock bag and put it in between the knife and the magnet to try to simulate the plastic sheath. Here are the results with the various size chef's knives 12 inch - knife slid right off 10 inch - knife slid right off 8 inch - knife slides a little, then stays still I probably wouldn't trust it with the plastic sheaving on it.

As HillbillyDad said, be sure the knife is sheathed properly. It is pretty tight to start with. Be very careful if it is stuck to not yank so hard as to cut yourself. The knife is extremely sharp.

I have not been able to find a replacement sheath for this or any other knife that I have bought on amazon. My recommendation is to contact the manufacturer directly. Your only other option is to do as I have and get the necessary materials and make your own.

I don't know of anyone who make a sheath for a pocket knife, its got a clip stick it in your pocket clip it on you will get use to it in no time
