Help Me Find a Sheath

[Gautier]

Was hoping you folks might be able to help me find a sheath,because after hours of Googling, my eyes are starting to bleed.
After changing my gear set up around a bit and acquiring new kit and getting rid of some old, I'd like a new carry option for my Fallkniven F1.
Ideally something along the lines of the now discontinued Spec Ops brand Survival Sheath. The kicker is, I want it horizontal carry, as I carry a firearm strongside at about 3-4 o'clock, and cross draw doesn't appeal to me for a number of reasons. Mostly because I end up having to use two hands, one to stabilize the sheath, the other to operate the snap/thumbreak/etc. and draw the knife.
Aside from this configuration, I'd like it to be able to carry a minimal amount of accoutrements. Firesteel(LMF Scout), a 91-93mm Victorinox(Farmer or Ranger), and possibly an altoids sized PSK or roughly the equivalent space left over for "tweaking".
Is this too much to ask for in a production model, or is there such an animal out there that fits the bill? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as always.

I would go custom and talk to survival sheaths guys. I carry my spec ops survival sheath horizontal sometimes. I snap the belt hangers through my belt loop and lash the leg strap around my belt. I think tad gear still has some survival sheaths left.

Why don't you get a drop-down leg platform? You should be able to fit all of that on one.

Field gear of America still lists
Spec-Ops Survival sheath.
I really hope it isn't discontinued.
I was thinking about getting another one.
The one I have replaced the sheath of
my Cold Steel Bushman and my old
U.S.Camillus combat knife. I love it.

Those who carry the survival sheath horizontal tell me they use the 550 to lash it to the belt.

Well, maybe I misread my information, but the way I understood it was that they were being discontinued. If a few places still have them in stock, it might be something to look into though.
I'm curious to know how it could be carried horizontally though. I can understand lashing around the belt with the tiedown cord, but what about the belt loop? Is it not oriented vertically?

They are out of production, I still have the last of the stock. It is a vertical sheath for normal wear and Molle mounting, but it does work horizontally.

The belt hangers un-snap and you can thread them around a belt loop, then you can use 550 cord, or the supplied leg tie cord to lash it around the belt. A ranger band will work for this too.

Thanks for the responses. Might have to see if I can get one of the remaining survival sheaths.
