Update: It appears the supplied nylon sheath is also unique to the SAF PowerLock. I only realized this when I tried looking for it on the SOG website and came up empty-handed. It has no markings or tags indicating where it was manufactured or who made it, but it feels very heavy-duty. Finishing and stitching doesn't seem very "polished", for lack of a better term, but it fits the PowerLock very well. The nylon is thick and fuzzy-feeling, not smooth and shiny like on my Leatherman Wave's nylon sheath.Empty sheath:(Image removed from quote.)Sheath with the PowerLock:(Image removed from quote.)The front flap has a little pull tab sewn into it:(Image removed from quote.)The back is where it gets interesting. It looks like some kind of quick release belt-loop, with a flap of nylon (double layered) that inserts into the bottom sleeve before being folded upwards:(Image removed from quote.)That was how the sheath was configured when I received it, but I realized there were two more sleeves sewn into it. I originally assumed they were all of the same width sewn into the sheath side by side, but the middle sleeve extends below the bottom sleeve. I'm not sure if my explanation makes sense, so more photos follow:In the photo below, the cap of the Sharpie is at the top of the sheath, inserted to show the top and bottom sleeve that are of the same width:(Image removed from quote.)In the next photo, the Sharpie is inserted into the middle sleeve that extends underneath for the full length of the bottom sleeve. The cap of the Sharpie is at the top of the sheath:(Image removed from quote.)Whoever made it, I like it. I like how it has no logos, and how it has a roughly-made but quality feel to it, which complements the PowerLock nicely me thinks And now as a reward for reading all that, here's some PowerLock black oxide porn :(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)

Welcome to the forum awlriteeden Thats one hell of a post and very informative . I never new such a version existed . ThanksDunc
Correction: The new LBV issued by the SAF is indeed MOLLE compatible, so it makes sense that a sheath would be designed for the PowerLock, since SOG doesn't seem to offer one like that. I'm guessing the higher-ups in the military probably wouldn't have liked the SOG branding on the commercial sheaths either.
