I have the #9. They mark it as a number 9 but really its 8 sti. They mark it #9 because it has 9 teeth (at least I think that's why). If you are interested I would sell it to you. However, like I said...I think it could be ground down if you want to use fine thread. If you like the look of thicker thread it may be OK as is.

The Japanese brand I have is Seiwa. They are made from tool steel and are very nice.

I'll check with my machinist husband about the tooth grinding. I need a 2 prong as well regardless, so I might order straight from Dixon (especially if Blanchard doesn't get back to me). I'll PM you later about what I decide after I talk to him.

Do keep in mind the sizing of every brand is different. I just measure my dixon and the 7 Stitches per inch is 7 stitches in an inch, exactly how it sounds. Vergez is Teeth per inch so a number 9 is 8 stitches per inch. All this time I thought my vergez was SPI..

My japanese pricking chisel when I bought it the measurement sometimes is measured from prong to prong or it measures the diagonal length.

Good luck.
