come w/only vertical belt loops, but can be
modified with extra mounting holes & straps for
additional modes of carry, or for attaching
add-on options.
(Left) "Type-2" sheaths shown w/full accessory mounting packages include a
full series of mounting holes, mounting straps for accessories,
horizontal-carry "scout" loops w/D-rings (for sling-carry), & leg
tie/lashing holes liked w/brass eyelets.

*Note: We no longer use black eyelets (shown on mounting straps) to create
a closer fit of add-on accessories. Instead, holes are now finished inside as our sheath edges.
