Hi Winchester,
you can use the sheath of the 119. That will fit for the 639. Lastly available at the buck shop, but also always offered at eBay. The Original Sheath for the 639 looks somewhat cheap and the 119 sheath valorize your knife.
Best,

The 119 leather sheath will work but you might have to stretch it a tad. It is a very easy process though.
I start by putting something in the sheath that is smaller than the handle space with the sheath snapped. A 105 should work or even a broom handle. Then I start putting pencils in the gap until it is very tight. Then I wrap the leather with a damp paper towel. Let it sit overnight and then check to see if the 639 fits. If it is still too tight, try it again, it should be easy to add another pencil each time.
I hope this makes sense.
