I'd like a sheath that I could "one-hand", i.e., not have to move the retaining strap out of the blade's path. This requirement suggests a kydex/securex solution. The blade is 1/4" thick.

Cold Steel makes a Gurkha Kukri that's the same size and comes with a kydex/securex sheath, but do they sell them separately? Wait, the CS Kukri is 5/16" wide as opposed to my Ontario that is 4/16" thick.

I know guys make custom kydex, but that would require me shipping the blade, waiting more time and spending more money, which in the holiday season is kinda tight.
 
I have never seen an Ontario Kukri, do you have a link? If it's really the same length, angle, etc. you could heat the CS sheath and press it to fit.

Being my first Kukri/khukuri, I didn't want to spend much. It came in a few hours ago and it's a good value. While it's 1/4" thick, it feels surprisingly light in hand, which may not be a good thing for a kukri, as they are designed to chop [among other things].
 
Would a moderator please move this to the "sheaths and such" forum? My mistake for posting this here.
