I found one at a garage sale here in Ontario Canada, It had a piece of cardboard taped around the blade as a sheath, after taking a second look at it and realized it was a find being a timberline knife owner and an Emerson Admirer. I was able to talk the owner down from $10 to $5 because the sheath was missing. When I got it home I did some research and realized what I had just acquired was special and that Timberline had been sold to Gatco so I contacted them and they still had a couple of the second generation kydex sheaths kicking around so I ordered one from them for $65US which was a lot more than the $5CA I paid for the knife but was happy to do so and I think I did alright all in all. When I purchased the knife it was in new condition but the aftermarket sheath has left marks on the blade making me regret putting it in there but what can you do. I don't want to sell it but am curious as to its rarity. I collect all types of knives and this is one of the least expensive I've ever bought that might end up being one of the most valuable I own now, up there with my ZT,s and Tops. I will include pics when I figure how.

Im trying to figure out how to add a picture, lol.
 
The Specwar was way up on my list of must haves maybe 25 years ago. I can't recall why but I never got one. Great looking heavy duty knife
 
I have a specwar and need a sheath also. I can not find Gatco's number to see if they have another sheath. If you have their phone number, I would appreciate it.
