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.

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.

Great looking first attempt. It looks clean and very functional. YouTube is your friend in leatherworking.

Regarding the ease of punching through multiple layers, there's many thousands of combined years of experience on here and we haven't either. About the easiest is to use the chisel to either mark or punch through one side and then once glued, use an awl to got the rest of the way through the rest of the layers. There is no "easy" way.

That looks awesome. nice clean design. I've yet to get into knife sheath making. I hope mine turns out half as good as yours. :)
