Axe sheaths?

I have the "OX 10 H AXE ILTIS® MODEL EUROPE". I like this axe a lot!

I was looking here (https://www.helkonorthamerica.com/store/c12/The_Leather_Shop.html) for a sheath but, they don't have one that is a close match to my axe size (large is 1/2" too wide and the next size is too narrow). Where should I be looking to find one? I'm not looking for cheap or expensive as this is a "tool" so, it needs something functional and durable but, not super fancy.

I'm thinking something similar to this or a simple edge guard style if it gets too expensive while unemployed.

TIA,
Sid

I have no idea where to buy one. But if you just want something functional, build one. It is pretty easy to slap something together with a few rivets and a piece of leather. Here is one I did for my double bit axe.

Or you can spend a little more time and stitch one up. Here is one I made for my mini hatchet. I think it looks a little better. They both protect the axe edge and other stuff from the axe edge.
