I'd really like to see how you carry your knives. Is it drop down? Riding high? Strapped to your pack? Is it baldric system that holds your prized possession?
The older I get, the more fuzzy I get about my gear. The sheath was something to stick a blade in, now, after years of experience, it's an important part of my equipment, as it will be carrying my most important tool in all kinds of conditions. I also hate carrying more than I have to, so I prefer minimalist sheaths. Not any pouches or emergency tins on my knives, but YMMV.
For my BK10 I use a dangler sheath from azwelke, I usually wear long anoraks, so I need low riding knives. Due to the low temperatures and snow up here, I never use leather, only kydex or synthetic materials. My BK9 is always strapped to my pack. For me it's primarily a camp tool.
