How to install pull the dot snaps on knife sheath

[chiefjason]

8/32 or 6/32 T nut and a matching 1/4" Flat head machine screw.  The screw type is very important or it will not set into the socket and it will interfere with the female part of the snap.  

I use 8/32 for all of mine but 6/32 might be easier to source locally.  3/8" might work if you using thicker leather.  

You can get it away from the blade entirely if you would like.  Widen the bottom of the sheath.  Punch holes for the screws.  Use the T nut to hold the strap on the back and fasten it through the snap on the front.  The wrap the strap around to the front and attach the female snap to it.  I make horizontal mag holders that wrap around the holder and belt like that.  Made one sheath that way too.
