Members SUP Posted January 11 Members Report Posted January 11 (edited) I do leatherwork as a hobby as well and am reluctant to spend a lot on punches and such. So the ones on Amazon,Temu and eBay that @fredk, @kgg and I mentioned work fine. I sharpened mine and am happy with them. You need to have a good set of whetting stones though or know a good knife-smith who can sharpen them for you. If I decide to take it up professionally or even to sell the items I make on a regular basis, then I might invest in the more expensive sets, more because the long handles - I hope that is the right word - on them make punching easier. Even those, there is no guarantee that they will be sharp though. You might still need to sharpen them. So essentially, what you are paying for is the convenience of that handle. Of course, if you ask around on this forum, there will be many helpful persons who will guide you to the ones which are sent out sharpened.
