its not so much the fact that the belt is interget, it will slide out and can be replaced with another belt, but another belt won't roll up tight like the one it came with and the one it came with has a large buckle on each end so it won't slide through the stiff leather leatherman sheath like a normal leather belt with the buckle on only one end.
I dont know if you can see it well enough in the picture here

I think my best bet would be to get a simple nylon sheath where it will flex more to allow the belt buckle to slide through. Thanks all
