Spring clip

Recommended Posts

Hello, I got a bunch of these spring clips, but they dont have a rivet hole. Can I use them for sheaths? I cant figure out how to secure them in leather properly.

Thanks

I used something similar and ended up just using contact cement to anchor it and it is doing just fine.  It was sandwiched in between two layers of leather.  I would say it depends on what you intend to use it for.  If a money clip, no problem.  If you are going to use it to clip something extremely heavy to a belt, then maybe that's another story.  Either drill a hole and use a fastener or maybe you can use the round part at the top of the cutout.  But you'd need something with a reasonably large head to do any good.

If using for a sheath I would drill a hole in the back for a rivet. Just put a thin board in between when drilling. Even a couple layers of cardboard would be fine. Just don't push to hard when close to being through.
