Good evening all. First off, I read the rules, and I dont think that this is a violation. If it is, of course, do your job, delete it, modify it, whatever is needed. Now, on to the meat...
I have a mora knife, I believe its a model 760 (I honestly dont recall the number, and am having difficulty finding the model on the web), and currently have a nice leather sheath, but I am looking for something a little different. s I have zero skills making things (other than messes, if that counts), I am wondering if there is someone here on the forums who does leatherwork, and may be interested in making a sheath. Here is what I am looking for:
Carried on left hip
Capable of vertical AND horizontal carry
firesteel loop
lanyard hole for attaching some paracord (not to tie to my leg, but I usually carry about 10' or so wrapped around the sheath, and would rather tie it to the sheath than wrap it around)

Thats about it. If someone out there does work, I'd like to speak to them, maybe work out a design. Please let me know. Thanks.

Chris, the ragweedforge site is down. Not sure if its temporary, or permanent. Thats where I tried last night.
Leeman, thank you for that link. That may do the trick!

oldsoldier, if you don't find what you want, there is a awesome sheath maker called rainwalker. He does all of our sheaths at SYKW and a lot of the Busse clan. He has by far some of the best and exotic work I've seen for a very reasonable price. Check out his site if you haven't ordered anything. He does both leather and Kydex. Check out his gallery.
