This would be a good combination for a day in Memphis.

THAT one is on my list too. Until then, I'm stuck with my lowly Ka-bars

If you made the knife, why not make the sheath also?

I have too much belly to wear a knife IWB. I'm afraid I'd fillet myself pulling it.

I've never worked with Kydex but I understand it's not too bad. And it's probably more compatible with your skillset and tools.

i just dont thik with my style of blade kydex would look right

A fair thing to say. But I would look at it as something new to play with and hey, you have a sheath at the end of it. Your next knife project can be tacticool to go with the sheath :D

No need for a lot of tools or all that great a skill set to make a simple knife sheath.  You don't necessarily even need stitching needles or thread.  I made this one with just some vegetable tanned leather, a rotary leather punch, a leather thong, some heavy scissors and a piece of wood that I cut off of a small branch and then drilled a hole through (from side to side) to use as a slide to cinch the thong that retains the knife in the sheath..  For the belt loop, a strip of leather doubled over, punched with a couple of holes and tied on with another, shorter piece of leather thong passed through a couple of holes punched in the back of the sheath works just fine - just be sure to tie it on to the sheath before you start 'stitching' the sheath, itself, together and make sure that the knots are on the outside of the sheath so they don't get in the way of sheathing/unsheathing the knife.  Anyone handy enough make their own knife handle and crossguard could probably make a sheath like this in under an hour.  Heck, I made this one is under an hour and I am not handy enough to make a brass crossguard - or at lest I have never tried it.  I have made holsters where I used an actual saddle stitch and I like them but I had bought or found this knife somewhere, sans sheath, and thought this style of sheath would look good with it.  I also think this style of sheath would look great with the knife you made.
