Oh good. Have watched this thread, but would not comment because it was a bit old. Now that I have had a jump start from pointshoot I will add my humble opinion. OKU came pretty close to nailing it for me as well. I am new to knives and such as I a gun person at heart. Have made my own holsters for years, don't buy any. On custom knives, I think you buy the knife workers skill set, not a leather workers. Just a servicable basic sheath should be offered as a courtesy. If you want something nicer, then maybe the knife maker should have a network of quality sheath makers they can contact to get a sheath made to the buyers specs. Of course that is for an additional fee.
It takes me many hours to make a holster and my work is basic at best, nothing special. The blade maker sells the blade and the sheath maker the sheath. That is the only way I see for the buyer to get just what they want at a price that is appropriate for the caliber of work involved. That is just my opinion of course.
