 Like a lot of outdoorsmen, I carry a decent fixed-blade knife for day to day tasks. My knife of choice is a Mora Frost Companion. Now I’m not the biggest fan of the sheath that comes with the knife. 
 Firstly, I’m left-handed and you can only get right-handed sheaths. Secondly I don’t think that the retention offered by the sheath is particularly great. Finally, you can’t attach the sheath to MOLLE.


 Enter the Kitmonster Mora sheath made for them by Vanguard. This is a very simple solution to the above issues. The pouch is designed to work with the plastic sheath that comes with the knife. As with any of Vanguard’s kit it is well made. The stitching is all high quality so you won’t have to worry about it falling apart. 

 The design is very simple. The pouch has a loop inside that the plastic sheath clips onto, making sure that it cannot come out when you pull the knife out and it has a generous flap which secures the knife into the pouch. The flap has a decent pull tag on it so you can open it with gloves on. The pouch is secured by a full length MOLLE fastener which is only one column wide. This is great because it stops the knife taking up too much real estate on your kit and as it is a full length fastener the pouch doesn’t flap about or get caught up on stuff. 

 You can buy this in either multicam or coyote so it will suit soldier, contractor or outdoorsman. 
To sum up, Kitmonster has found a really simple solution to attaching a Mora to MOLLE kit. I think this is a great little pouch and has great utility. My only gripe is that I think it is a little overpriced. I know UK made kit is more expensive, but this costs more than the knife that goes in it. That said it really is the only solution as nobody else makes a sheath like this, and I have been very happy with mine. 

 It can be purchased here.
