Where's a good source for ballistic nylon sheaths?

It's been forever since I've been on here and my knifemaker subscription has expired, so I no longer have access to the search feature... so bear with me!

After a two years of off and on work, I have finally finished my main project that started as my first knife. As it was, I ended up completing several other knives prior to this one, but I finally buckled down and wrapped it up a few weeks ago. There are still a few finish issues with it, but it's a working knife so oh well.

Now that it's completed, I need to purchase a sheath for it. I've made kydex sheaths in the past, but I have found that 1. I'm not very good at it, and 2. I don't like them as much as I thought. I purchased a Microtech Currahee a few years back, and I've absolutely loved the nylon sheath that comes with it:

It has a felt-lined kydex insert for the blade, is Molle compatible, and is jump rated. I'm looking to see if I can find something simiilar for this blade. About the closest I've come so far was a sheath by blackhawk, but I don't think it would fit the thumb-stop that I have on the spine of the blade.

Any suggestions? The blade is about 6" long, and it's 1.375" wide at the thumb stop.

Thanks for the help!

I'm looking for something similar for my RAT RC-6. I'm not that big of a fan of Kydex and nylon would work perfectly for what I need.

The Spec-Ops sheath is nice but it has velcro and that's something I'm trying to get away from since velcro wears out or gets loaded up with fluff and what-not after use. I prefer a button or clasp of some sort
 
I think that would be perfect for what I need. Looks like TAD Gear is out of stock but I found some here http://www.survivalsheath.com/sheaths/index.htm Spec-Ops website doesnt seem to carry this "Survival Sheath" model anymore (if they ever did).

EDIT: I just got an email from Spec-Ops stating that the above Survival Sheath has been discontinued for a while and that their 'Combat Master' sheath is the updated version that has velcro. so if you are interested in the older model (as I am) you might want to pick one up soon as they are not being made any more
