I would like to replace the rubber handle of my Ontario SP 5 with a leather washers, yet found this pic of the SP5 tang, and wonder if it is too wide for what would be the top of the washers to retain enough leather to be sturdy. Any thoughts?

It is a bit too wide. You could grind down the tang some and the leather washers would fit. DM
