In addition to the attachment, our large Mounting Ring is very suitable as a connector for a leather strap or chain.
The suspension-loop measures 1 x 0.5 cm.
Made of high-quality bronze casting or real silver-plated.
A brass pin is included to attach the suspension to the knife sheath. To mount it, simply push it through the two holes and shorten it about 1 mm above the fitting with a side cutter.
Then you can simply tap the pin with a small hammer in circular motions and in this way permanently attach the fitting to the Viking knife sheath.
