You can always have a leather or kydex one made

You could always make one--I made this one for the No.6 I customized for my cousin:

It's not a belt sheath, but it wouldn't be too difficult to make one that would work on a belt.

Very nice. I just ordered a #7, after seeing your sheath I might try and make one myself. Having never done it before, where do you buy the leather at? What did you use to sew it, leather, nylon? Also what about the grommets? Thanks for any info.

I use horsehide and I get it from Maverick Leather or Milton Sokol & Demar Leather, but you can get high quality cowhide direct from Herman Oak and Wickett and Craig (or you can buy those brands from suppliers like Waterhouse Leather and Zack White Leather). I stitched it with artificial sinew, although sometimes I use hemp beading twine, and the eyelets are actually for use with Kydex (you can get them from USA Knifemaker) but the leather suppliers also carry eyelets for leather.
