@Vetryan15 - it's the same leather I use for making dog leashes. It's expensive and dulls my knife blades really quick but it's worth the cost and extra effort.

So pricing now...
If I were to sell it as is, with burnished edges and the stamped accents, I would want $45.
If one wanted a more affordable option, I can leave out the stamped accents and leave the edges unburnished although still rounded off for $30.
Seem fair?

It definitely looked like the dog leash leather, it's really heavy duty stuff. I personally think it's a great deal.

I happen to like it but it would take away from your design. Really nice work!
