Norwegian term or phrase: geheng
Sølvt geheng & lærstropp for kniven; hengsleformet og dekorert i stil med det øvrige. c. Fyrstål med sølvbeslag. d. Geheng for fyrstålet; av sølv og dekorert i stil med det øvrige.

All sources I have consulted provide "sword belt" and sometimes "bandolier" as potential definitions. Obviously "sword belt" is not appropriate for the fire steel and is a stretch for the knife, but in some cases the item illustrated doesn't look like a crossbody bandolier either (which is also bandolær). Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Explanation:
See reference 1 which has a list of terms and a set of images of similar sword related equipment and a glossary of terms.
Ref 2 has an image of a 'geheng' in the Justismuseet, although this includes the belt
Additionally geheng matches the German 'gehängt' = hanged

Example sentence(s):
  • Silver hanger and leather strap for a knife.
