will a CGFBM fit in a CS Trailmaster sheath?

[stevep]

any idea if the BM will fit in the trailmaster sheath? it now sits in a coleman bowie sheath pretty decent and i'm looking to upgrade on the cheap...thanks

No it won't. The blade height is a fair bit larger than the trailmaster. Whilst I don't have an FBM, I have an FSH and I believe the blades are similar in height. I've tried it with my TM sheath and there's no way it'll fit.

I put mine in Scrapyard 10" sheaths I got when I ordered the Dog Father.

You have to pull out the hard plastic liner and heat one edge and stretch it (stretch the width out a fraction) so it's a bit wider at the top where the swell of the CGFBM has to slide in. I heated the edge of the liner over the stove burner and inserted a metal ruler and pulled the one edge (towards the top) out a bit, The blade will now slide into the liner with room to spare. Just re-insert the liner into the sheath.

I just ordered one of those, thanks for the stretching tip.
