Shaunread Report post Posted June 30, 2014 Hi, I've been looking at buying some Seiwa Pricking Irons online for a little while, but I've struggled to find anything to tell me exactly what spi size they are. As they're japanese, they are using only '4mm' in my case (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seiwa-Diamond-Leather-Stitching-Chisel-Leathercraft-Pricking-Iron-Tool-6x4mm-/111275961902?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19e8906e2e) and I don't understand if this is correct for 7spi because online I can't find any information on whether the measurement is between points or the main 'pylons' of the tool. Could somebody help me? :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billybopp Report post Posted June 30, 2014 Just a note .. If you're going to buy from goodsjapan, either directly or through e-bay, go for the expedited shipping rather than free shipping unless you are very VERY patient. I've waited nearly two months for delivery when using free shipping. Expedited is something like $4 or $5 per item and deliver is more like two weeks. I'd also suggest pokin' around on the http://www.goodsjapan.jp/ website. I've ordered the pricking irons you're looking at from them plus awls and a really effective burnishing cream. Irons and awls from them needed less work than any others I've used so far to make them usable. Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
