2 things I can point out. Very minor and won't affect the overall functionality of the sheath as they are mainly for aesthetics.
1. Edges - I would would bevel the edges of the straps and keepers using an edge beveling tool. You can then use tragacanth gum on the beveled edge to polish them up using a nylon boning tool.
2. Your dangler looks too dangly. I would make your belt loop a little more substantial to avoid it sliding on the belt. The top of the belt loop should be as wide as the sheath itself. You can then angle the bottom to fit the D-ring (I use round rings).
I appreciate your input on the sheaths. I will start making the belt danglers wider. I do have the edge beveler and I think i will bevel the edges on the straps. Reason I haven't yet is because I actually just got it in the mail the other day and haven't had the time to do it.
Thanks for your critique. Very useful. Thanks.
