The knife looks like a real Buck 639 Fieldmate to me.

The sheath is Buck, but it didn't come with that knife. Most of the sheaths I've seen with that knife are either black or camo in a Cordura type fabric.
 
What Stumps said.

The sheath is for an M9 bayonet (standard military issue). In this case a Buck 188 I believe.
 
Here are two custom 639's and one original factory like yours. I don't have a photo of the sheath, but you can find one easily with google "Buck 639".

The handle on the factory 639 looks darker than yours in the photo….but it's the same. Just the angle and lighting.

Stumps, your knives are really spectacular. The 639 FieldMate handles were offered in both black and olive drab. It doesn't show well in my picture but the bottom two knives are the 2 colors. The black handle came with a black nylon sheath and the olive drab handle came with a camo nylon sheath. There is also a scarcer version of the 639 without the saw on the spine.
