Perfect! Thanks so much for the welcome and for the advice. Ruaridh

Hi there. I'm a professional knife maker that has always used kydex for my sheaths. I'm about to start making leather sheaths and I have a few questions I was hoping to get some help with. I received a sample tag of 3.8mm-4.00mm veg tan leather and I think that's what I'm going to go for. The issue is that it's priced per square foot and you have to buy an entire hide. Will this hide be that thickness over its entirety? I've seen some people write that only the shoulders and back end would be. Also there is a disclaimer saying that some brand marks may be present. Is this likely to be more than one brand? Like if the cattle changed owners multiple times? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me. Sorry for the noob questions. Ruaridh Hunter.
