I have the stainless version of this that came with a leather sheath. Does not lend itself to similar modifications. Your mod is begging for a 3D printed mount for your striker. Alas, my sheath does not serve as a model to develop on. Nice work.
I have several Moras...love them both.

I did a modification on my new knife. I wanted something on my belt that performed more than one job. First I made a three knot lanyard for ease of handling during use. I used electrical tape and secured a sail needle on the back of the sheath. I used a piece of plastic off a liquid bottle and made a tiny sheath for a Light My Fire ferrocerium rod. I secured the ferrocerium rod sheath with more electrical tape. Then I wrapped the sheath with 6’ of 550 paracord. The ferrocerium rod is secured to the main sheath with paracord. So I started with a knife and ended with a tiny survival kit.
The knife can obviously cut most anything you want to cut in the woods. It is a full tang knife made from carbon steel. The blade is blued black for corrosion protection. It has a sharp back spine and a sharp butt area to use the ferrocerium rod for fire starting.
The Sail needle does triple duty. It can be used to remove a splinter or stinger. It can be used to repair gear in the field. And I used a strong magnet to magnetized it so it is also a compass.
The 6’ of 550 paracord also does double duty. I could use it for general use in the field. But if you pull out the 7 internal strands, each separate strand has 3 tiny strands. So the one piece of paracord can be disassembled for 126’ of sewing thread.

Looks good. I’ve heard of people doing modifications to the Mora sheathes just never looked into it.
