I'll stop with Leather carving. My SK-3 Swivel Knife can be bought on Ebay Germany.

Rickert Werkzeuge is not far, but I think this is just an online shop. The Bear Gallery, near Munich, here you can find a great selection. You need to login first. Then there's - Die Ledermacher. They are also not very far away from you, But please ask first if you can buy at the store or online only. More I can not remember now in Bavaria. max Rickert Werkzeuge ist nicht weit, aber ich glaube das ist nur ein online-shop. The Bear Gallery nahe München, hier findest Du eine große Auswahl.

Mehr fällt mir in Bayern jetzt nicht ein. Max

I'm no expert, but also in the version with the screw I would reinforce the cotton because the fabric is the weakest point and slightly frayed.

Without the picture is really something hard to understand. If the strap is not just for decoration you should sew a thin piece of leather from inside it. You can do well with saddle stitching. It should perhaps also be a double seam to have a larger area for the stress. I hope this helps. Otherwise you'd have to make a sketch.

I think in Germany it is called "Walkleder". Max

First-class work. Thanks for the detailed description.
