Looking for a sheath for my SOB... black leather, preferably a drop-loop design, with firesteel loop, and if I'm really lucky, a stone pouch.

Anybody know of any good production sheaths, or ready-to-go sheaths from independent makers, that fit the criteria? Maybe something designed to fit a more common knife with similar dimensions?

Obviously not looking for some formed, exact fit, but maybe worth noting I have the SOB prototype. So the blade is 4.75" instead of 4.5", the overall length is 9.75" instead of 9.5", and the blade stock is thinner, at .164".

Really appreciate some suggestions. I'd go custom, I just don't have the 1-4 months to give any of the well-known makers, ha ha
 
Here are a few that a buddy and I had made by Savage Made Sheaths. Harry is a great guy to deal with. The one on the far left is my SOB. Harry will pretty much make them however you want them. The handle normally rides higher but we wanted ours to where the handle didn't stick up above the belt line. As you can see on the sheaths on the right, he also does ferro rod holders, stone pouches and holders for an easy-lap sharpener. The only thing I would recommend is to do a retention strap that goes around the handle. The little talon hole nub on the SOB doesn't give the strap much to hold on to. It would never fall out but if I pulled it hard enough I'm pretty sure the nub would get past the strap.

 
Check with Dwayne at armoraleather. He has been doing leather for Bussekin longer than almost anyone.
