Making a Leather Firesteel Loop and Dangler for Mora Companion Bushcraft Knife

Had some leftover water buffalo belt leather and decided to challenge myself to make a Firesteel loop and Dangler for a Mora Companion bushcraft knife while enjoying a rainy day in the woods.
Paddled to and from a perfect island campsite with a tarp, food and a few small hand tools. Hope you like!
(For those unaware a "Firesteel" is a fire lighting device commonly used in the woods due to it's waterproofness and longevity. A "Dangler" is a way to drop a knife sheath lower on your belt where it is more easily accessible below a shirt or jacket.)

So what's going to keep the fire steel leather loop from slipping down? Did I miss something? I didn't see and glue just a friction fit that's gonna slide with gravity or use. Maybe some pine glue or birch to hold it on so you won't have too? I must have missed a step on the second watch

[@phillipscraftsmenco]

You're correct that it's just a tight friction fit and it has actually slid down on me since making this video. Pine pitch/glue would definitely work to secure it better. I'll likely just add some paracord whipping below it personally. Extra survival item and that way nothing is permanent I can always revert it back to the original.

Nice job! Remember people…when making pine tea, avoid the white needles!

[@phillipscraftsmenco]

Thank you! Can you explain further? Tea made from Eastern White Pine is certainly safe to drink but I’m guessing you mean something else?

@@phillipscraftsmenco sorry, I was trying to be funny. Kind of like…don’t eat the yellow snow!
