A number 15 blade is safer and easier to use than a number 11. The 11 has a lot of cutting edge, but tends to cut bevels rather than vertical slices, at least when it's in my hand.
Just a thought.
And a laud for your nerve! Cutting up leather for any project is pretty scary the first time or six. I remember looking at (someone else's purchase of) elk skin for about three days before I laid scissors to it. It wasn't replaceable. I was kinda scared, but the coat was beautiful in the end, and he was happy.
