Chiro has it right, though I do believe some kydex is magical in use, but a plastic sheath is a plastic sheath.
I have had really good experiences with Okuden, found here in the maker forums, as well as thru the Busse site, with Eric of On/Scene Tactical and though I have not tried one of Chiro's sheaths out, I can certainly vouch for the character of the man. Buy Brown certainly has a pile of sheaths out there and while I prefer other guys to his work, he has a pretty dedicated client base.
Six months to a year is a long time to wait for a knife in some folks' book, but for a plastic molded sheath, especially if paid for, way too long period.
Give any of the guys in this thread a call/ email and they will take care of you pronto - hell, Eric had an order for 1000 sheaths from a factory and he told me to "call him in three weeks." I thought that was really up-front of him and appreciate this sort of integrity.
Eric and Okuden were both consumate professionals and took way longer than necessary with me, not in the creation of the sheath, but in conversation with me regarding the product and what i wanted and needed from the sheath. This is the sort of customer service I am happy to give my money to when it comes to carrying and protecting the blade and myself.
I've had a Sastre sheath and while it was pretty nice, it came with the knife and was not something I would have waited six months for. Very nice workmanship, but not worth six months, especially without comms.
