Members CastlesCustomLeather Posted April 5, 2016 Members Report Posted April 5, 2016 I'm looking for a place/ supplier to get some high quality diamond hole stitching chisels (particularly around the 3 mm size). I've heard that some of the Japanese ones are great, but most of my internet searches seem to turn up cheap looking ones. Right now I'm using Craftool and Craftool Pro chisels and I just want to invest some $ in better quality chisels. To be clear, I'm looking for stitching chisels that punch diamond shaped holes, not lacing chisels that punch slits. If anyone knows a high quality brand or a source that sells some top notch chisels, please let me know. Thank you! Quote
ChriJ Posted April 5, 2016 Report Posted April 5, 2016 Look at the Seiwa chisels at Goods Japan. Nigel Armitage (Armitage Leather) has some videos on you tube where he evaluates numerous chisels and irons. Watch those and you may have a better idea of what to look for. Chris Quote
