Tandys Ultimate Leather Set $999.00

Oh- speaking of odds & ends & things like scissors, get yourself a pair of Ginghers- they are phenomenal(sp?). Do NOT buy a pair of Tandy's Pro shears- they're junk. I bought a pair for my son & it cost me $25 additional to have them professionally sharpened to the same angle as my Ginghers. Springfield leather has Ginghers for a reasonable price. Unless you need to cut really thick or hard leather, you don't need any shears with serrated teeth. Serrations leave tooth marks & if for some reason you need to cut with the grain side facing the teeth, well, it's not pretty.

(Btw, I've never used a new pair of Osborne's clone of the Ginghers , so I can't really comment about them.)
