You could use the Osborne chisel, or you could buy a less expensive diamond hole punch from Tandy. This produces about 7 stitches per inch.

Any of them will work... There are so many differant ways of doing it. If you are trying to be a purist and do it "corectly" the pricking iron listed in the second link is what you are looking for. Then you use an awl to pierce the holes through the leather.
