Im making a kabar style leather sheath for an Ontario sp 48.
It's a large full flat grind.
My leather seems to be ~1/16".
(Old craftsman belt, still stiff-ish)
Since my spine is a bit over 3/16", can I make it 3 layers (including the outside layers) against the edge, and 4 layers against the spine?
I'm even considering using my old thinner saddlebags leather on each side. (One on each.) Will it work out to mismatch the edge and spine sides?
Thanks for reading!
