Here's a big of my first Busse sheath I posted a while back. It's cardboard and duct tape.

VERY IMPORTANT
Just keep in mind that the purpose of a knife sheath is not just to protect the knife. And not just to have a way to carry a knife on your person.
The most important function of a good and proper knife sheath is to protect the person wearing the knife.
In the woods and climbing, hiking, camping etc...people do slip and people do fall and all sorts of other bizarre things can happen. The sheath needs to keep the point and edge IN the sheath and out of the wearers body.
If you whip up a makeshift sheath make sure that it is good enough that the knife is held securely and that the edge will not cut through it and the point will not penetrate it should you slip or fall or take a tumble down a hill.
