Looking for Pricking irons

[IH460]

Looking for a set of #9 and #7 or 6  pricking irons in 2 tooth + 5-8 tooth. Looking for French Style 45 degree irons, not chisels.

Thanks for the offer Ferg, the #8 size wouldn’t fit my needs however

I’ve been pleased with the Rocky Mountain European style pricking irons. I rarely use the 2-tooth iron and just tip and tap lightly. I assume you’re marking holes and sewing with an awl.

Thank you, have not seen this section yet, great info. I did stumble upon Nigel’s reviews and found them to be very insightful

Correct, marking and following with awl, however not against hybrids like crimson hides or punching through with sharp and consistent width longer tines for certain jobs. I’ve read good things on the RM irons, seem to be a good option. I’m hoping to find some used if possible vs breaking the bank on new

I just received a Gomph #12 and Osborne #10 overstitch wheels. Thinking about switching from pricking irons to these for bridlework. Faster and easier on the pocketbook.

Funny you say so, I’m working the other direction and want to give irons a try vs wheel. Curiosity killing the cat I suppose

Fun to try out different tools and learn new skills. That’s what it’s all about.
