Long time no post on BF!
Ariovaldo is a good friend of mine and his shop is just a few blocks from mine. He is still making knives and Sorocabanas are his specialty. He has learned the trade from an old friend who was an old-time blacksmith and whose work you can see here: http://ivancamposknives.wordpress.com/bide-and-his-knives/ . Most of his stuff is sold locally and he does not speak English so if you need to contact him, I can help.
Here is a picture of one of his more recent creations in his own damascus.

He makes his own sheathes and I am sure he could make you a new one but he would need the knife as the sheaths are made specifically for each of his knives, one at a time.
