what do you keep in the pouch on your fixed blade sheath?

Survival gear?

Convenience items?

Mars bar?

Recently attached a grenade pouch to my azwelke kydex tglb sheath. Not sure what I want to put in it.

This thread is useless without pics.
 
Depends on the knife and its intended purpose.

In some I have a multi-tool, others (hunting knives) I keep a pair of latex gloves. Others have a sharpening stone and/or a means (or two) of starting a fire such as a Bic lighter and a ferro rod or the like.

As above.
I actually am not a fan of bulking out a knife with some huge pack. It might seem a great idea to have one "do it all" package, but in practice its not much cop being lose it, lose the lot. They get heavy and carry badly on a belt and catch on everything. They don't even pack well in a day sack. Its far better to have useful items spread about ones kit as then it can't be all lost at once, and usually has better access.
A ferro rod and very small sharpener are to me about as far as I want to go. Survival kits and other useful items elsewhere.

A knife and sheath is a slim, light weight, affair that is easy to carry. A bulky brick isn't.
 
Grenade pouch, duh put a grenade in it 🙄 Seriously i keep a smaller folder or multi tool in mine depending on what im doing.
 
Nothing. I only have a few sheaths with a pocket and I keep nothing in them. I try to make the pocket as flat as possible. Other nylon sheaths with a pocket I have cut the pocket off. I don't attach pouches to my kydex sheaths. I don't use leather sheaths so none of those have pouches either. I have a pouch for my Esee 5/6 but it made the sheath way too bulky. With the molle back I can attach that pouch anywhere any way. My point here is that I like my sheaths as slim and small as possible. A pouch with stuff in it negates that.

Had molle sheath with a pouch on my RAT RC6. Took the pouch off, as others said, too bulky for regular use. In a possible survival or bugout scenario I might.
Actually, I took the molle attachment off too. Went with a tek lok
