I think you may need to make a wooden block allowing a straight relief a bit like you would on a holster for the sights I guess.

Might need a better saw though.

I use this but instead of just placing the knife beside the line, I actually place the edge right on the line then roll the blade over to 1 side, like the suggest when making a gun holster.

 

Another option, instead of having it all encased like a knife blade, make a cup to hold the bottom and use a strap to hold it in place at the top

Yes that should work but make sure to use a thick welt along the stitch side and or at least block and case so as to allow the saw easy access in and out .

Have fun and a Merry Christmas.
