Has anybody ever added a Pouch to their ESEE 3/4 sheath? I know that the 5 and 6 have an aftermarket pouch, but has anybody ever done anything similar to a 3/4? I am considering adding a MOLLE Pistol mag pouch to the sheath of my RC4, but I was wondering who here had done the same, or something similar? Any pics?

here you go this might help, not quite a mag pouch buy I think it's along the lines of what your thinking.

Take a look at this thread:

It seems that it is possible, with a little squeezing to mount the pouch for the ESE-5/6 on the H.E.S.T. kydex sheath. It should be possible to do the same thing with the sheath for the 3 or 4. (Hole spacing should be the same on both sheaths since they both fit on the same Molle Back.)
I am waiting for a factory second ESEE-5 / 6 Accessory Pouch that I ordered from ESEE to arrive in the mail. (Also waiting for the RC-3MIL I hope to mount it on to arrive in the mail...) Once I have the parts in hand I'll be able to let you guys know how it works out (photos, too).
As others have said, there are a lot of ways that a pouch could be mounted to the sheath. If the holes don't line up properly for using the mounting screws I may try split rings through the grommets on the pouch and sheath...

Thanks for all the great pics. I need to get one of these pouches and try it out on my RC-4.
I will show some pics once I receive the pouch.

Here are the photos showing the alignment of the RC-3 Sheath holes and the holes in the ESEE-5/6 Pouch:
There are more holes in the Kydex sheath for the RC-4, so the pouch fits better there. A loop of paracord or elastic should work fine on the sheath for the 3.

I put the 5/6 pouch on every model except the Izula.

I’ve always been a fan of Martin Swinkels sheaths he does with the pouch. His fold-over sheaths work with the Maxpedition single pouch or the Blade-Tech pouch made by Eagle according to his website. I’ve considered the single mag pouch alternative myself, but I think Martin really has perfected it. Beautiful work.

I did that too myself using a maxpedition single sheath :thumbup:
How did you attach the ESEE 5/6 pouch to the ESEE-4?
Obviously I can align the top holes of the pouch to holes in the kydex sheath and attach them with the screws provided. My question is how did you attach the bottom two holes to the ESEE-4 kydex sheath?

Is that the sheath martin made for you say somewhere around the first half of july?
Visited him in that period and on his table was a F1 and a S1 i believe with that sheath/pouch combo.
