Hello, I am looking to start making kydex sheaths but all of the different size rivets and belt loop attachments are confusing me. What size flared rivets do you need to attach the different belt loop attachments? Do different attachments need different size rivets? Or will one size say 3/16 or 1/4 work for all attachments and if that is the case what is the preferred size 3/16 or 1/4? Thanks in advance for your help.
 
I have been using 3/16" and found out that they are too small for the Tek-Lok hardware that I bought. I would assume 1/4" is what is needed.
 
I agree with Lo/Rez. I bought 3/16" dies and eyelets and 1/4" dies and eyelets.
I started using 3/16" and I think they're too small unless you're using them for a necker knife or something small.
They do sell chicago screws that will go through the 3/16 eyelets, but mine just sit in a container.
I use 1/4" for everything now.
