@palehorse & @WendlingKnives, For you and other DFW guys, you might look into Makers Leather Supply. They are north of Waco. I haven't visited their store but have ordered from them. They have treated me right. It seems to me like overall leather prices have went up and quality has went down in the last few years. If I were closer, I would definitely visit their store. JM2C, Jim
