I'm curious, how/where did you attach the retention strap on the back side? It appears it's sandwiched between 2 of the back pieces but from the side angle it looks flawless.

You are correct-- it is sandwiched between those layers. It was skived down quite thin, glued in the proper spot, then fastened with one rivet through the back layer (pretty much in line with where the snap is on the front piece). Have a good one!

Members Dwight Posted February 4, 2016 Members Report Posted February 4, 2016 Did you ever think about buying actual sewing needles for a leather sewing machine? I have needles for my Tippmann, . . . I sew through 3/4 inch leather with them, . . . never a problem. Using a drill press with them would be not really different from my machine. And I don't mean to sound mean or anything, . . . but I do not think I've ever seen a knife sheath that thick, . . . May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.
