Made a simple clamp with two bits of hinged plywood and 25mm neoprene.

Sheets of Kydex off ebay. Heat on a tray in oven to 190 0c, fold around blade, clamp in press. If it is not to your liking, throw it back in the oven and do it again. I use copper brake/ gas pipe for the rivets but you can buy the rivet kits on ebay as well.

 A few more I have made over the years.
