Thanks for your kind words, Sam. One could apply that description to you as well.
Yes, my chances are pretty slim to find a period sheath in matching condition. I got the knife off of ebay maybe 2-3 years ago. It came paired with a nondescript sheath that I still have floating around here somewhere. The reason it was divorced from the sheath? Lost in the mist of time. If it was a Model 7, it would become my new user. As is, it is just too large to deftly handle the job of cleaning fish. I've faced worse problems
Best,
