I’m terribly disappointed with the Tan Big Sky bison leather! The slightest scratches seem to scrape off the dye on the surface. Just barely drag a tool across the surface by accident and the hide shows scratches that ruin the appearance. It’s as though the mottled appearance on the hide’s surface is painted on with a paper-thin layer. I’m planning on selling mine at a discount just to get rid of it. This was a waste of my money!

Hey Tim, there is a wax finish on the big sky bison that gives it the appearance that it has. A firm fingernail will scratch the leather, but this is a common occurrence with many types of leather. However, if you thoroughly rub in some leather conditioner, you can restore most if not all of the original appearance.
