I am fine with the sheath, but not the clip.

I'd like to find some wings for it. Are these a generic item or need to be specific to the sheath?

I'm looking for something like this

I can't help you but I will bump you. I assume you want leather. What color, thickness, weather proofing, orientation, belt size 1" or 2" embellishments? And that has to be the worst grind I have ever seen on a Ka-bar lol.

You could do this on your own, with a few simple tools. Get an 8-10 dollar bag of leather called Farmers Scraps, from like Hobby Lobby.
1 pretty good ruler. To measure and be a straight line guide.
1 new razor blade.
1 drill.
2 sharp drill bits.( 1 the size of the screws. 1 for drilling the rounds for the belt loops.)
4 chicago screws if needed.
4 washers if the screws look like they will pull through the leather easily.
1 file, etc. to shorten the screws to proper length. Do not buy aluminum screws, you will regret it.
1 or 2 pieces of cardboard make a decent cutting surface to protect your counter a bit. And helps the drill bits cut clean holes through the leather.
And if you really like your work. Get a good leather sealant or stain. P.S. the Farmer Scraps shouldn't need to cased, for what you are doing. unless it is truly stiff leather. Good luck either way. If I missed anything here folks, please point it out.
 
So you are trying to make the "belt slide" portion of the sheath above?
I'd suggest same as Sam. I would probably make it out of a single piece of leather, I feel like that would be more durable, though it would obviously add a little thickness. You could always skieve it down there.
