Now, I have worked with a vendor to make an inexpensive leather boot sheath available for this knife.
They are called "Carol's Country Store" and they are on Etsy.com. Here is a link to their store page:

Also, you'll see that this sheath is very wide at the bottom. This is not accurate to a real Gerber sheath, but it was done per my instructions. The way I figured it, if the bottom of the sheath was hidden in the boot anyway, why not make it wider so that it's easier to attach to the boot? You can always cut the excess off if you want a more accurate sheath.
When I received the sheath, I saw that they had made the whole sheath wide by mistake, so I cut it down the sides as you'll see from the before and after photos. I also dyed the sheath black myself.
Here is a before picture with what the sheath looked like as shipped from the vendor:

This sheath is not 100% accurate to a real Gerber Mark 2 sheath. But it's very close and is inexpensive. If you want something different or better, feel free to work with another vendor and let us know how you make out. The cheapest I've seen real leather Gerber sheaths go is about $45 (and that's if you're lucky enough to find one for sale without a knife). $45 seemed too much to pay for something I was going to cut off and stick in my boot.
These sheaths from Carol's Country Store should be available in the $20 or less range (I can't quote an exact price because their price could change depending on whether or not they decide to start doing the black dye etc.)
To order, just contact them directly and tell them you want the Mad Max booth sheath.
If you want the replica Gerber knife, contact me or Karol.
