Nigel Armitage has a great video on youtube about pricking irons. I highly suggest taking a look at it.

Are you wanting pricking iron or stitching chisels? There is a difference. The good thing is you can use stitching chisels as pricking irons. Goods Japan has good ones, Wutah sells on ebay. GoodnLeather, Amy Ranoke but there is a waiting period. Bruce Johnson Leather will have some vintage pricking irons on his website. Ebay does have various Chinese manufactured that will work. They will usually be in metric measurerments that you will need to convert to stitches per inch. There options out there for inexpensive pricking irons/chisels.

Looking for door hanging sleigh bell pattern
24VOLTS replied to craftsman827's topic in Patterns and Templates
I made these last year for family members. -
I have one. I use it all the time. It Is sharp out of the box. I have not had to strop or sharpen the blade yet. It has a basic blade that is easy to sharpen or have a saw filer sharpen for you. For the price it is good entry level skiver. My recommendation is on the adjustment screw that you put a indicator marking on it so that you know how far you are adjusting the rollers. I did had a wood handle for easier opening. Other then that I have no complaints. Overall good unit.

Cowboy Holster Tutorial

Jim's patterns are the BEST! Great instructions and Jim is great for help and advice. I cant wait till he sells his cd with all the patterns again. -
styrene in .02 works great and cuts with scissors. Sometime it is difficult to get without shipping.

I just wanted to put in a good word for John at Egyptian Leather. I have purchased tiger thread from John. He has great service and ships out fast. He also has a great variety of colors. So buy from John so that we can all buy tiger thread from a USA seller and hopefully keep the price down. Thanks Phill

Evapo- Rust is the best! It is gentle on the metal and does not harm anything else. Cleans up with water. I really like this stuff. Much better then doing the vinegar thing, which can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.

What is the name of the product that you are using? I am not familiar with a water based varnish. It sounds very interesting. I bet it could be used as a resist when tooling leather. -
Hi Ahmet, I have not heard back from the seller. I am interested in all of them except buck stitch and hand sewing.. If I hear back from the seller we can work something out. Phill

Thanks for the review! I own a set of those chisels and they work good especially for the price. I do find that since the teeth are not polished they have a tendency to grab the leather. I am always looking for better tools and found a nice set at a decent price that are highlighly polished teeth and work real great. The company is goodnleather out of Korea. He has several different sets and two styles. Thanks again for sharing! Phill
