It is not too early to start thinking about how you would safely carry such a knife. These holsters are for pistols, but they give some options to consider:
I will say, I have no experience with that model/Brand. I figure Tin would just fabricate something to meet his needs anyway.
I couldn’t find the one I really wanted to show but, now I have:
Are you planning that this would be sharpened with a round file? This could give you a option for cutting wood or rope when the blade becomes damaged or totally dull.
That is not really a fair question because we don’t know the primary function of the knife. But I am willing to play along.
Green is my first pick. Blue are all worth consideration…still need to know is this for carrying all day, just on hikes/camping, meeting prospective guests at the front door, kitchen tasks???
Red picks are if you plan to have a parrot on your shoulder.
In order of preference for what I like in knives. As @ChelanJim said, without knowing your primary use cases, take this with a grain of salt as they may not fit you final goals.

I haven’t got any farther than this comment I made earlier.
I have lot’s of different knives that serve their specific purposes.
Something semi all-purposed fixed blade.
I mean if we want to get down to practicalities and realities most custom knives are totally overpriced and serve no more purpose than the average $20 knife.
