Thoughts On C.s. Osborne Pricking Irons

[Hi Im Joe]

Based on what you hear and see and from what others say is a good indication of something. I've never had the osborne iron, but I saw how big the teeth are and in my personal experience with my dixon iron (which wasn't the slimline) the teeth were even smaller than the the osborne based on the pictures.

The dixon size teeth are known to be large and in my personal experience with it, unless its thinned down its unusable as the cut is too large, roughly 4-5mm if you measure the diagonal cut. Its now somewhere between 3-4 mm from thinning it down, which is somewhere near the size of the slimline.

If you can prove to me that the osborne is on par to the dixon I'm willing to listen, and if I am wrong il correct how I think about the osborne. To me it looked like you were trying to pawn off your osborne iron before he had a chance to evaluate the different irons.

Nope not trying to pawn it off. I just don't use it and would give him a better price than buying one new. It's a nice iron I just don't use it.

It is not even worth my time to try and "prove" anything to you. You never listen.

OP if you are interested let me know. Otherwise good luck...I have heard good things about the Dixon slimline irons.
