First off, this is NOT the knife. It is just a quicky mock up to aid in design.

Working on getting a couple Haikuchi out. Traditionaly it would have a wooden saya, but seein as it ain't gonna have no habaki wood is out. So, what style sheath should it have (or what would you like to see it have)?

The choices are
1) Blade Tech with TekLok
2) Leather belt sheath
3) Stingray belt sheath

#3 would way up the price, so take that into consideration.

For one of the above three, please vote in the poll. For any other ideas please post reply.

Also wondering what color combos ( ito/same') would you folks like to see.

The knife is very well proportioned, and without something to index by, I've no idea what the size of the knife is. With its slim, spearpoint style, it could look good with a wide variety of sheath types.
 
Thanks to all for your input.

Here is the final choice.
It is a sash style sheath with a kydex core covered in Japanese Stingray.
