ETCH LEATHER RIVETS and FASTENERS

This one pictured below is a Segma snap (Nickel/Brass). The one on the left has been etched. The one on the right is being help by the alligator clip ready to etch. Pick the pattern you want to etch from a standard stencil material that you use to etch your Logo into your knife. I made this one of Deer antlers because it is going on a Bull Nose style skinner sheath. A single capito letter or two could also be etched into the snap.

Follow the same etching steps. These snaps are plated with nickel. When you etch you will remove the nickel and expose the brass. This will increase the visibility of your pattern.

The above sentence is also a link to show the sheath it was used on.

A CENTERING GUIDE is on the bottom of this Tutorial Web Page a bit rough 🙂
