I can't remember where I've run across them but I know they're offered.
Actually there's three or four different kinds of clasps outside of the traditional brass thumb type we mostly all use. They're not so common but they they are out there if you start looking.
Ill check that out. Thanks Randy.
I love you guys. You are always there to answer all of my weird questions!

You could also go to a feed store and pick out the clasp you like (they should have a variety of clasps and sizes available). Take that clasp and the leash you like the best - leather or flat nylon/webbing - to a shoe repair place and have it sewn on to your leash. Shouldn't cost you more than a few bucks at most.
eta: They should have the french clasp like Randy's talking about.
If all else fails go to a feed store and pick out the type of clasp you want (they usually have several different kinds and sizes). Take it and the leash you like the most (it would need to be leather, probably) to a shoe repair place and have them put the new clasp on for you. Probably wouldn't cost you more than just a few bucks
Good idea. Now I just have to find a feed store that I can get to on the T.
Just kidding. It really is a great idea. I have a few pairs of boots I need fixed anyway. I bet I can find what you are talking about somewhere on the interwebs.
Kelly Byrd: does your SO use two hands on the leash to walk the dogs? My one concern with the rope type leashes is that the hand that is lower on one leash would get rope burn. I had that happen with a ceaser millan leash that I bought in an emergency. It had very similar styling.
Sorry to be so picky, I just don't want to waste any more money!
No, but he's also got a very soft dog, who's not prone to bolting. You can get carabiners at any outdoorsy supply, same as 'other' types of clips at feed stores. I'm all for making leashes. Maybe I'll take a pic of our homemade ones now, to give you an idea. We use 'retired' climbing rope, that isn't safe to climb on, and attach whatever kind of clip we want to it. You could always tie in a 'traffic handle' low on a long leash, to help prevent rope sliding through your hands in an emergency.
Oh, and on our homemade rope leashes, we put a piece of tubular webbing around the handle, so it's softer.
I still like my RedLine K-9 leather stuff. Not terribly expensive, but QUALITY leather, and nice solid, heavy brass clips.

Not sure if this is the type of clasp we've been talking about, but this is what we use on lead ropes for horses. It's a great clasp and have never had a problem with it.
I have. My better half was out hiking with his (past) dogs on leash. (long lines) The leads got twisted, and presto, opened the snap! Loose labs in the woods.....
Really Dana, you use those on horses? I don't like them at all. . . lol. Different strokes for different folks!
