Looks like a rather large gaucho knot. You will be able to find the idea of it in Ron Edwards book Advanced Leatherwork Vol. 2 Round Knots and Braids. That can be found at the Ramskull Press. The price seems to have gone down since I bought mine about 7yrs ago.

Here's the link;

I made some using a pineapple knot with wider lace than shown. I first made a wooden replica of the knife I was going to use, and then braided it over the replica.

I found it better later to use the knife it was made for and wrap that knife with some paper towel and then tape to make it a little bigger as the rawhide scabbards tend to shrink even after you think they are dry.

With some styles of knives, it might even make more sense to make a slightly oversized and tapered pattern so you can remove when dry?

I by no means have this perfected!!
