I voted Leatherman.  I like their MOLLE sheaths better than SOG, and there nylon sheaths.  However, the spirit leather sheath is a close second.

I like sheaths that hold lots of stuff. The old Gerber Multiplier sheath that held the bits and bit driver was really cool.

The Leatherman Molle sheath is OK , and reasonably priced . The old Leatherman ( pre 2004 ) sheaths were made by Bianchi Holster , and were very good .

To be quite honest , I throw most Multitool sheaths over my left shoulder , and fabricate my own . My Swisstols , I keep in Blackhawk Magazine pouches . Mag pouches come in a variety of lengths and double and single stack , available at police supplies , gun shops , and gun shows .

My SOG PPP sheath is a great minimalist sheath.  The best part is the clip, no belt needed.

Leather sheaths -> SOG #1. Vic comes second, wish they had a snap closure as opposed to velcro or a combination of snap and velcro.

SOG here too, My pt-540 sheath is made from really thick high quality leather, and even has a special place to put the bit adapter.

I'm with the Don on this , I tried to carry the Spirit in the original sheath , carried it behind the right hipbone - couldn't keep the flap secure for love or money .

Great concept , flawed execution .

I have a nit to pick with the SOG leather sheaths I've seen ; very nasty scratchy exposed rivet heads. There are less scratchy varieties out there .
On reflection I rate the Leatherman Molle sheath quite highly , especially combined with Malice clips .
