The reason it lacks a sheath to my knowledge from the times this topic has been brought up is largely due to being an azone item, it is supposed to be a novelty, an "I did it!" sticker for a thing you do once every blue moon for fun (The fun there being highly disputable but that's a different thing). I do not agree with the statements labelling this a balance concern for possible rampagers, the makeshift katanas frankly suck ass for the time commitment and many other disadvantages they come with not to mention the easier and genuinely better alternatives in scrap weapons, spears, station loot, debris/asteroid field loot, most antag options.
It's supposed to be novel, not having a sheath causes inconvenience, inconvenience discourages overuse, the item stays novel. Adding a sheath in will just make it more likely to see people with one every other round they play lessening the novelty.
