Frankallen Report post Posted April 24, 2017 I am getting back into Leather work and I need some advice, what size pricking Irons to buy and what type and size thread to buy? I will be making only knife sheaths. Any help will be greatly appreciated. : ) Thanks, Frank from Alabama Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikermutt07 Report post Posted April 24, 2017 For large fixed blade sheaths I would use 5mm irons or chisels and 1mm thread. I'm liking the tiger thread. Anything smaller I would use 4mm and .08 thread. But, I'm no expert. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikermutt07 Report post Posted April 25, 2017 Thanks so much! This really helps me! No problems. You can get cheap chisels on Amazon. I have some 4mm that are great @ less than 20 bucks a set. You can always upgrade later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
