Sheath for the Ka-Bar TDI/LE knife

TDI comes with a Sheath made by Ka-Bar which I don't really like since it 
requires fussing around with loops:

You could buy a clip made by Ka-Bar which will allow you to clip TDI to your 
belt of pants without having to thread it through the belt but I think it will 
increase the bulk of the whole setup:

I've been looking for a knife like this and I was happy to find one made by 
Ka-Bar. I hate the fact that it's made in Taiwan but for $30 I can certainly 
make an exception ...

Like this little fella?  Here's a good place to get one:

recommended by Tactical Defense Institute Links

FYI: Tactical Defense Institute's President 
     John Benner designed the TDI Knife

UPDATE:

I received my TDI from tomarskabars.com - they are great by the way very prompt 
and professional service.  My initial thoughts:

    - Great Self-Defense blade - feels natural in your hand
    - small enough to carry in your pocket
      (if you remove the belt clip - I did)
    - belt clip sucks - it's designed for LEO sub-belt not
      a thick belt that you'd use for everyday
    - pinches my index finger a bit but it can be solved
      with careful grip placement
