Modification made to knife sheath

Last year I purchased a Bark River Bushcrafter off of eBay. Great knife, it has been out with me on a lot of day trips. Only complaint I have is the sheath that came with it. The sheath was made by Sharpshooter, which the sheath itself is a great quality sheath, but it's useless when paired with a hip belt on a backpack. The belt loop makes the knife ride high and interferes with the hip belt. Knowing that I wanted to carry the Bushcrafter with me on my overnight camping trips I started looking into what others have done.

Most obvious option was to add a dangler belt loop to the sheath so the knife would ride below the hip belt. So I dug out my leather tools and scraps of leather and started laying out a design to modify the sheath. I had some stainless steel rings I picked up at a feed store, had to cut the weld open to get it on the current belt loop on the sheath, now wishing I just cut the stitching and redo it. Took a strip of 8oz leather and measured for the width of the belt I usually use and for the loop for the ring. Dressed the leather while it was flat, leaving a few spots bare where the contact cement would be applied. Looped the leather around the ring and glued everything together, finished by stitching the three layers together. After I was happy with the fit I glued down the old belt loop and stitched it down. The new belt loop and whole sheath was waxed which darkened the leather and blended the color difference.
