I made both of these recently.
The first is for a knife I designed and had made. I haven't really named it, though it is a take off of the nessmuk design. The top edge of the knife is sharpened as well and does a great job at light to moderate chopping. The sheath has a firesteel loop and a pouch on the front for a Leatherman. This was my first attempt at a waxed sheath, so it didn't turn out great, but not too bad either.
This second one is a sheath I made for a Laconico Nessmuk that I left at my folks house, so no pics of the knife. This is my second attempt at hot waxing, it went much smoother. The firesteel loop is a little different. I cut a notch out of the sheath and put a loop of leather through it. It is sewn to the welt and its own little portion of the sheath. It is very low profile.
As always, all comments are welcome.
