Very nice work. Excellent stitch lines and attractive patterns, though I would worry about using a stud to retain the keeper on that last one. Looks good, but it's not going to be very secure.

Still, I'm definitely going to have to talk with you when I get this next knife done. I like your work.
 
Thanks!! I assure that they are plenty secure. I tested them vs a line snap on 2 differant sheaths for my Gossman Tusker. Im not exactly easy on my woods gear so they saw a bit of use. I was very impressed with them. I found that it takes more strength to open the tab then unsnap. If the holes get wore out, I make the straps replaceable, and will fix em for as long as I am able to sew. The way they are waxed keeps that hole pretty tight for a long time though. I also try to make them as maintainable as possable so they are easy fixes to get em working again. I want to do this without using a ton of hardware, too keep it cleaner.
 
Very nice work.
I like the sheath that you made for the Tom Brown Tracker. What sort of price for a similar one?
