    It looks like a variation of a collar fastener, used at the top of horse collars.  The lever has more curve than the ones typically available.  Maybe a company had some made to their own specifications (?).  I believe the are available through Weaver Leather, at least in stainless steel.  The Buckle Guy would be another possibile source.

    Thanks! I think I found it: Littleton Cavalry Buckle: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Brass-Littleton-Cavalry-Belt-Buckle-Leather-Craft-Strap-Bag-Clasp-Buckle/164310522750?var=463922623718&hash=item2641ab9b7e:g:iVEAAOSwUhdfH~NM

    In your list of attachments, go to the right edge and there is a 'tick' box for each attachment. I can't tell how many attachments you have as when I follow your link, it loads my attachments.  But i Assume you have lots of attachments or large attachment like large photos or videos.  When you select the tick box, you will see a delete option pop up at the bottom of the screen.   I don't like to suggest you remove photos as that destroys the integrity of threads you have posted in.  But there might be a video or something hidden in the list that can be removed.  For videos, supply a link.  For photos, reduce the size and send them to me to edit your posts and replace.

    Thanks. but strangely, when I go into my list of attachments, there is no 'tick' box for any of them. The list loads without any option for selecting and/or deleting files whatsoever.

    Not a leather piece per se... but still, leather-related :P

    Lately, in addition to leather work, I've been interested in metal - knife making and such. I have been wanting to buy myself a good round head knife, but was put off by prices - they go for anything from $40-$100. So, I decided to take a stab at it myself. Designed a template in Photoshop, ordered 1084 knife metal, and voila! I was rather proud of my first attempt. Still, I can do better next time. This was a learning experience.

    Very nice look and some nice clothes for that knife.

     

    I am curious does the belt loop stop where the snap loop on the handle is or does it go all the way back down.  If it goes back down is there a second rivet on the inside to help hold it?  Just wondering cause ifnjuat 1 rivet it might move.  I'm assuming it doesnt stop at the snap loop cause it would flip around then.

     

    Thanks! Yes, the belt loop goes all the way down, so that the bottom rivet is holding 3 layers together. There's a second rivet on the inside, closer to the top edge, holding the inside of the loop and the back of the sheath together.

    Nice Job. I hope you've got a welt in there else it will cut the thread eventually.

    Yep, there's a welt in there. Without it it would be a much faster job, but it makes for a much more reliable (and safer) hold. Unfortunately, I am yet to find a convenient and quick way of reliably punching through 3 layers of leather and being able to remove the chisel with ease.

    Thanks all! Yes, I like the way it came out too  :)

    I am not sure what the weight is, I never weighed it. Obviously, when full of equipment, it is a hefty thing. Empty - not too bad for me. Mileage may vary. I use it on my photo drives, so I rarely have to carry it around, it is mostly in the car, packed full of photo equipment.

    Here's the link to the pattern, if anyone's tempted:

    A friend of mine made a hunting knife, but had no sheath for it. So I decided to try my hand, killing two birds with one stone - make a sheath for a friend and learn in the process. Since he had already used this knife on a deer hunt, I put a deer stamp along with his initials on it. I was pretty pleased with myself, considering this was a first. Youtube rules!
