Lee05 Report post Posted March 17, 2013 They are pricey lol, prices for a new Blanchard pricking iron with 10 teeth alone can set you back over $200. I purchased these only a few months ago. I find I use a No. 10 more in my work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basically Bob Report post Posted March 18, 2013 ... I just purchased a couple of #7 Dixon (1 1/2" and 1/2") pricking irons. Do you know how the tooth size compares? I would really like to have a 2 tooth iron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee05 Report post Posted March 18, 2013 Each blade width is roughly 2mm wide, and from blade to blade is roughly 3mm diagonally, hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Basically Bob Report post Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks for taking the time to answer, Lee05. Please advise if you decide to split the set. I am very intersted in the two tooth iron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jax Report post Posted March 20, 2013 Bob, Dixons also make their pricking irons with 2 teeth, I have them in 8, 9 & 10 per inch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt S Report post Posted March 20, 2013 Dixons are also a lot cheaper than Blanchard, speak English and apparently will produce or modify tools to your specifications. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
