Just burnish the edge of the leather, no?

Quoted from Aurich:That's an option, but right now I'm planning on giving them an edge coat in black. It's pretty thin leather, 2 oz, has to be to be able to run the screws for the spikes through it, so it's not a lot of edge to be able to stand up to burnishing.
I hear ya. I like the look of a burnished edge. My dad's a leather worker and I dabble in it a bit myself. I've seen 1.5oz leather with burnished edges, so 2oz is doable. Good luck either way. Hammer looks great.
