Y'know, about 10 yrs ago I was gifted a kukri with the sheath, two small knives, etc. I'm not real enamoured with it, and if you wanna let me know where to ship it, you can just have the whole thing. The only thing that looks a bit weird is the part where the sheath attaches to the belt. I can get pictures to you within a day or so, after I tie up a loose end or two here.
I can get pictures after I get home from work; for now, I believe that the accessory sheaths are made from the leather that is wrapped over the wooden inner sheath liner, as is the belt loop.
I seem to recall the file (chakmak) and the knife (karda) insert into the back of the larger Kukri sheath, adjacent to the belt frog. You may or may not find two pockets on the back side of the scabbard.
That is my very limited knowledge of them - hope it helps.
I can find lots of pictures and some YouTube stuff, but none I've found show close-ups of how the two are fitted to the main sheath. Any pictures appreciated.
LONG time ago a guy Dad knew had a kukri brought back from WWII, it was given to him(can't remember the story). I vaguely remember them being set along the back, but no details.
Trying to post pix here; guess I'm not as smart as the posting tool. Scabbard looks to be wood carved to fit the blade. Wood is wrapped with stitched leather and shrunk/glued to the wood. Brass cap on the point end of the scabbard. Pocket at the top end of the scabbard underneath the outer leather skin holds the two knives.

Check Ebay. I've seen them at gun shows (OMG!) so there must be some out there on the inner tubes.

That helps, thanks. That's the angle I didn't find anywhere else
