Slotted scabbard?
Moderator: My thread appears to almost fit other sub-forums, but not quite? If you believe it need be placed elsewhere, please do it.
***
I have used a multitool on-and-off for decades - and have been fighting with them for nearly as long. My problem is their utility metamorphosed into a "gotcha" from the day I added the [given tool's] set of bonus wrench/tool combination set. I insert this bonus collection behind the multitool in the same leather pouch. This renders an extremely useful complete set of tools/wrenches/pliers/et al. as convenient to carry. And it is convenient to carry. But when it's time to use the multitool, that carrying convenience becomes a pain. I often have the bonus set drop to the ground (and a couple of times into Salmon Lake) when withdrawing the multitool from its scabbard. Both items come out while I can control only one of them. My obvious solution is to use a leather pouch that has receptacles for multitool and bonus set superimposed one behind the other. Superimposed will take less space and therefore be more convenient to carry with much less likelihood of my usual problem.
But I cannot identify such a slotted scabbard, and I don't want to pay to have such scabbard custom made. My current multitool is SOG S61-1 PowerLockŪ plus SOG 13-piece Hex Bit Accessory Kit. If anyone has a solution for my problem, or useful insight, please let me know.

I had a leather scabbard made, it cost about twenty five bucks. While mine is only the tool itself, I can't believe that it'd be a whole lot more, to get the extra compartment. Even if the price doubles, in my opinion, it's worth it, for something that's carried every day.

Kydex is pretty easy to work with. Just don't let the wife catch you using the oven.

Keep.the accessories in a separate place. Like the watch pocket in your jeans.
