You could just make a real leather sheath. You can make a sheath out of either oil-tanned garmet leather (cheap, easy, is only a soft covering) or a veg-tanned leather scabbard (hard to make, rigid, way more durable and cool.) Ask me if want specifics

Most sheaths I have seen have two flat boards (For lack of a better word) These are a little wider and longer than the blade. They pinch the blade between them. A slight hollowing of the space between the boards centers the blade and the outer covering will provide the restriction/compression. The edge and point of the blade never touch the outer covering.

Fine, but I liked the final design for the sheath, although I could of made it ten times better. Just kidding, =) I liked it.

you are going to need to make the cloth portion rigid or the tip of your sword is going to rip threw it if you don't put it in just right. you can do this with a piece of wire sewen into the seam of the cloth (so it doesn't knock against the blade) or a piece (or two) of cardboard glued or sewen outside the cloth.
