Check out Andy Wayne's Pork Links - he has a bunch of sheath makers listed

As far as leather v kydex - it's always something I battle with. Each has advantages and disadvantages, and I like both. Kydex is generally lighter, less bulky, and more versatile as far as mounting and carry options. Leather, on the other hand, is nicer looking, less likely to scratch up your blade, often more comfortable to wear, and so on...

I ordered a couple hundred bucks worth of sheaths in the last week or two, from several different custom makers, in an attempt to sample some of what's out there. I will probably post my thoughts after I've used them for a while.
