    The knife I made the green sheath previous for the missus has claimed as her own but didn't like the green sheath style and wanted more like I usually made, so did a more traditional style but again used titanium belt clip so can put on belt or hang on bag.....

    So the green sheath from earlier post is now a spare but liked the style so made a new one, the same idea as first , for my knife and being a modular design was able to replicate mounting points for stone holder and belt/torch holder and fit to new sheath instead...

    I then decided to make a sheath for my Mercator which would sit sideways/horizontal on the dead space on front of knife belt but hopefully tuck in enough to not get in the way stepping uphill...and match green knife sheath...
