That I think is the better of the two ideas (the other is making a sheath for the locked open knife). Most of the artisans I am familiar with would be more than delighted to do something like that. There is always a shade of commercialism in stuff that is produced for sale, a compromise of artistic value for the taste of the person who has the cash. To be able to create a work of art to go with a quality blade, might just make his/her day!
