The MUT is Leatherman's firearm maintenance tool: 16 tools including a bolt override, carbon scraper, bronze scraper, and a pin punch, at 11.2 ounces and 5 inches closed. It is built for AR platforms and it is one of the heaviest tools Leatherman makes.
Eleven ounces on a belt needs a rigid sheath, and a tool with a punch and scrapers needs one that will not get chewed up from the inside. Kydex does both. The MUT sheath holds the tool by its frame, clicks in, and with the Tek-Lok clip rides on a duty or range belt where the MUT belongs.

The sheath, reviewed
1. Kydex Sheath for the Leatherman Mut
Molded in kydex to the tool it is named for, handmade in the U.S.A. by military veterans, with adjustable retention and an audible click when the tool seats. Available in black, black carbon fiber, and coyote brown carbon fiber. Guaranteed for life.
How to carry it
On a belt
The sheath ships with the standard Clip & Carry belt clip, which is universal across all our multitool sheaths and carries the tool vertically on a normal belt.
On a duty or work belt
Swap the clip for the Tek-Lok belt clip, which fits belts up to 2.25 inches wide and attaches with the sheath's existing holes.
On a pack, vest or bag
The MOLLE clip replaces the belt clip using the same screws and mounts the sheath to MOLLE webbing on a bag or plate carrier.
Why kydex
Kydex is a thermoformed plastic that is molded directly on the tool, so the sheath holds it by shape rather than by squeezing it. It does not absorb water, oil, or sweat, does not stretch, does not fray at the belt loop, and lets the tool draw with one hand. A retention screw sets how firmly it holds. It is why every sheath here is guaranteed for life.
Frequently asked questions
Does the MUT sheath fit the Surge?
No. Different tools, different sheaths.

The bottom line
If you carry the tool daily, the Kydex Sheath for the Leatherman Mut is the upgrade that keeps it on your belt, clicks it in, and outlasts the pouch it came with. Add the Tek-Lok for a duty belt or the MOLLE clip for a pack.
