Rob, before you start doing something, could you please post a picture of mouth of the sheath, blade sitting in it?
You have here a Malay hilt and Pendokok, and Malay sheath. Even if the sheath was not made for this blade, I wouldn't shorten it.
There are a lot of sheaths ruined by collectors, who think sheath should match the length of blade, and blade shouldn't be visible when sitting in sheath.
