Kydex is a very forgiving material to work with. Knifekits and Texas knife are great places to start.

Plenty of online tutorials to get you started:

check with atomic dog. I think they will make anything as long as you can send them something to make a mold from.

Re: Need info for custom kydex sheath.
I posted a similar question awhile back, and on several recommendations, I ended up making my own. It's actually a lot easier than you would think and you can make exactly what you want. Here's a couple I ended up making for a couple Benchmades I like to carry.
A belt sheath for a Griptillian fixed blade
And here's a neck sheath I made for a Bone Collector.
With the original sheath:
And with the homemade neck sheath:
I would highly recommend making your own if you're at all handy. As long as you're ordering the material, buy some extra to keep on hand for future projects. I made both sheats from a 12" x 12" sheet of Kydex that cost about $7. For 2 sheets of Kydex, eyelets, a piece of 1" molding foam, screws, Tek-locks, an eyelet setting tool, and shipping, I probably spent about $35 total. Probably much cheaper than shipping your knife to a maker, material, labor, and return shipping, not to mention you'll be without your knife for awhile.
Thanks to the guys who talked me intogiving it a try.

Re: Need info for custom kydex sheath.
I own a small outfit that makes sheaths and holster (trotac.com), and I'd be glad to help you out if you wanted.
With that said though, I'd recommend that you make it yourself, if that is still something you're considering... It is pretty easy and enjoyable to do. (Who knows, you might even start a company!!! that's what happened to me)
