The temper on this is spot-on—firm enough to hold a shape, but it gives just a bit when you bend it. I’ve been working with it for a week and the color stayed rich even after a few creases and pulls.

The aniline finish really makes the color pop, and even after some heavy use it hasn't faded or darkened unevenly. I was surprised how well it stretches without losing its shape, which made cutting my strap pieces much easier.

The medium temper is perfect for tooling without being too stiff, and it took the dye evenly with no blotching. I could really see the natural grain come through after a quick oil treatment.
