Best big silky and scabbard?

[AHPP]

My usual is a Natanoko but I want something bigger. Ibuki, Zubat, Sugoi, Sugowaza seem to be the choices. Which is the best scabbard? My Natanoko has been dropping out more recently. And are any of them noteworthily better/worse for any other reason?

Do you need a big saw?
I recently changed from a zubat to a curved tsurugi and it's so much better. Only 270 long as anything larger is a chainsaw job

Fuck it. Is anyone climbing with a Genki Temagari and can you get a scabbard for them?

OK. Ignore that. I've just seen the cost.

Heads up for anyone buying a Sugoi. The 360mm one comes with a curved sheath that retains the saw well and has the little chisel blade on the tip of the saw. The 420mm one comes with a symmetrical sheath that retains the saw less well and does not have the chisel blade tip.

I've had a couple of these taped to my silky scabbard for a few years now.  Works a treat: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10Pcs-N35-Neodymium-Block-Magnet-20x10x2mm-Super-Strong-Rare-Earth-Magnets-UK-/152979428830

They look good. Much obliged. I was planning on a bit of foam/leather so it wedges in tighter. I've only used it for ten minutes in the garden and the scabbard has already has gone from 3/10 to 0/10 retention.

Magnets are great.

Two of those, taped to your scabbard (around 2/3rd down). Problem solved mate.
