Modify concho into a snap

[Toddo]

You ever see a cool concho that you wish was a snap?  I ground down the outer head of the concho screw to fit inside the snap head with a bench grinder and some filing.  All it would need is a small drop of red locktight to make it permanent.  This is going on the next knife sheath I make.

Good idea!

Tandy used to sell packs of 10 adapters to change conchos to snaps. No work need other than the usual screwdriver

Oh really?  I'd like to get my hands on those screws.  That was a bit if work getting that screw to fit inside that snap head.  Like you really had to want to make it happen to do all that work.

Sweet.  I'm going to order a pack and see if those screws fit the conchos I have.
