Members augustwillo Posted August 8, 2015 Members Report Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) What are the best Diamond Chisel Stitching Prongs out there? I am looking for a 4mm stitching prong for the 1.0mm Ritza Thread. Edited August 8, 2015 by augustwillo Quote
Members Egyptian Posted August 8, 2015 Members Report Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) Siewa stitching chisels from GoodsJapan are really great. (May have spelled the name wrong.)

(May have spelled the name wrong.)Yeah, it's Seiwa...not Siewa. I like them too, but I wish they had higher SPI ones available.Also, I'd recommend checking with LeathercraftTools.com as they have many of the same items as GoodsJapan, but better prices and cheaper shipping, in my experience. Their "LC Diamond Punch Pro" tools look a LOT like my Seiwa ones I bought in Tokyo... Edited August 8, 2015 by 25b Quote

I have not ordered from leathercrafttools.com, but how can you get better shipping price than FREE, goods Japan has always sent my order Free shipping! That is one of the things they are know for, free world wide shipping. I have three different brands that I use, I prefer the ones that have been sold on Amazon and Ebay, if you search amazon for NuoYa001 Pro Line Pro Stitch Leather and NuoYa001 Leather Craft Punches Stitching These are the two styles I have been using for about a year steady now. The pro line (first one) is very nice and works very well, I usually only use it on 1.0-1.6mm leather with Tiger 0.6 thread... don't know the size punch I have but its similar to the 3mm punchs, the marks are very much like a Blanchard(sp) or Dixon... you only mark the leather, you don't punch all the way through. The second ones I have 3mm, 4mm and 5mm sizes, I ordered the full sets too. I may have had to go on ebay to get the 10 hole punchs... don't remember. I use the 3mm for Tiger 0.06mm, 4mm for Tiger 0.08mm... I have not use the 5mm yet, but I think that is what I would use for Tiger 1.0mm. donovan Quote
Members 25b Posted August 8, 2015 Members Report Posted August 8, 2015 Yeah, goodsjapan didn't always have free shipping, but their prices are still quite a bit higher on pretty much everything than leathercrafttools.com. I don't have any affiliation with either one except as a customer and I don't order from goodsjapan anymore after I saw how much lower the prices are at leathercrafttools. Quote
Members club49 Posted September 28, 2015 Members Report Posted September 28, 2015 I hope the photos uploaded, if not. I purchased two large spools for $16 and change from Abby's a spool, and $7 for a small card from RMLeathers supply.com. I don't even want to meassure what is on the card, it is a joke.The spools hold 500m. I will gladly pay $20 shipping and get ten times the amount of thread for the money and get it only in 3 days, all the way from England. Jim Quote
Members donovan1974 Posted September 28, 2015 Members Report Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Sort of... the $16 is British Pounds... so its $25 US Dollars a spool of 500 meters... and that's if you are a business and get the wholesale account. 2 spools to the door is about $42 each, about $84 total. Same with the shipping, its in Pounds not dollars, and if you go over $200 US dollars, you pay another 11% tax and $10 to DHL. You can get to $200 pretty quick. I think I said it before, use RMLeather to get your samples for color and/or size, and if you are only going to do a couple items, once you find what you want, order from Abby. RMLeather list the cards at 25 Meters, I think I have ordered 12-15 cards from them. I checked the first order and it was over 25 Meters. Did not see a need to check after that. I still think its a good deal for samples and small items for hobbyist. donovan Edited September 28, 2015 by donovan1974 Quote
