Re: Bowie needs some TLC...
For the leather sheath, contact Lindsay John Ross. He's a leather master, seriously. His website is www.rossgun.com. His prices are great as well.
If you're serious about your knives, maybe look into investing in a Tormek machine. Sharpening/polishing simply cannot be done better at home, from what I've seen and used. It's a dream to work with a Tormek.

Got my blade back from De Wet this afternoon...wow! What an awesome piece of work. Blade looks new, sheath looks and feels fantastic.
Very stoked.
