Looks great Matt!
I just did one too. I started to leave a flap to tie, but didn't like the profile. One can always drill holes and lace thru the sides if necessary. Yeah......a razor blade works fine. No need to bust out the grinder. A razor blade cuts cleanly and doesn't make that nasty hair burning smell like a grinder would when used on leather. Def NOT a vegan experience, for those so inclined.Finished off w/ 120 grit sandpaper, and actually smoother than the "factory" edge.
