I've spent a little bit of time looking at the #4 Survival knife and there are sheath options out there without the strap. I've seen them sold with pouch sheaths, both those with and without a sharpening steel holder. It looks like the sheaths can be bought seperately as well.

Of course there is also the option of getting a custom sheath from a Canadian sheath maker. I found some pics of this set-up here.
