Title: Warranty and Sheath Questions
Post by: copper460 on December 10, 2018, 02:39:32 AM: Hello All,

I have a Gerber Suspension that I have carried daily for several years. Some time ago one of the heads on the screws holding the handles together snapped off, possibly from being dropped. I promise I have never tightened them. :) Has anyone experienced this, and do you think, or was it covered under warranty? I was going to email Gerber, but thought I would ask.

Second: The sheath is one of the worst things about the suspension. Has anyone found a leather sheath on eBay or elsewhere that fits well with the suspension?

Thank you all.

I sent in an EZ Out that not only had a messed up clip, but some dodo had heated the blade, ruining its heat treat. Gerber replaced it no questions asked. As for the Suspension, parts cracking from being dropped is a common problem it seems, I believe because they're cast; iron I think.

As for the sheath, I've got a Kobalt that's about the same size as the Suspension that fits in this Normark sheath, originally intended for a lockback.
