The one pouch is supposed to have a simple Silva compass but it wasn't there when I bought the knife used from a guy on eBay a few years ago. He said this was the only thing wrong with it, he lost the compass. He never even sharpened the knife either... it desn't need it. Even though I sharpen all my knives, this one I won't touch. The other pouch holds the 'points'. They screw in to the hand guard to act like a grapling hook if ever need be. This is one of the highest quality knives I've ever seen and I'm guessing it's the reason why they used to be issued to the U.S. Navy Seals. Buck doesn't make the Buckmaster anymore, and this is an authentic Buckmaster, but there is a lot of reproductions out there. You can find out more about it by googling it. This knife is so well made, I am awed by just holding it. My Rambo: First Blood part II reproduction pales in comparrison to this knife. It's almost twice as think and a lot heavier even though the Rambo knife is bigger. The serrated edges on the spine are sharper on the Buckmaster also.
