About all I carry on my sheaths is a sharpening tool and a fire steel.
Fallkniven A1, modified Spec-Ops sheath
Fallkniven F1, modified Ontario sheath
this is the pouch I'm using http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/SINGLE-SHEATH-9p187.htm
you can purchase it from numerous vendors

it's attached to the sheath- Martin Swinkel's site below, this particular sheath is setup to take that pouch (it probably could be used on other sheaths if constructed similarly

Sheath looks very nice. I assume it did not come with the pouch. How is the pouch attached? These looks pretty expensive. How much did it cost and how much hassle to get from Europe?
I like the leather belt strap idea. I have a kydex sheath from my chopweiler with a nylon strap and it doesn't sit right. I added a velcro strap at to secure the handle to the strap which cured the problem. Sounds like leather is a better modification.
nope- had to purchase the pouch; has two velcro attachment straps on the pouch, one sits behind the kydex so it can't slip off
don't remember the exact cost, but it was very in line what other kydex makers were charging- even with shipping; he was good getting back to me w/ a cost
he has a myriad of designs to choose from and am certain would entertain any custom ideas as well

I personally prefer a form fitted kydex sheath to ensure retention, but if you're looking for a general knife sheath that will fit various knives, Spec-Ops now makes the Basic Modular Knife Sheath, which has PALS ladders on the front of it to put various MOLLE pouches on. It comes in 2 sizes. I've never used one but their old survival sheath and the Combat Master and Jump Master were highly regarded.

I may pick up one of these just to play with.

Here is another Martin Swinkels sheath. He makes all the sheaths for my hard-use knives.
I have not seen nicer Kydex made yet.
