Chrimson hide makes a great product. O wish I had some. But then again, I have switched to pricking irons and an awl... For some crazy reason haha.

Fun Question:

Breakdown:

Singapore Dollar: $290

US Dollar: $210.02

Shipping: $45 via FedEx

Right at $260 out the door for all four irons.

I bought these from the recommendation of Nigal ArmItage.

 

I have already run a few lines with them as a test. My goodness, these teeth are at almost 45 degrees. That thread just lays way over on its side.

Ouchie! 

Hello, my name is Scoobie, and I’m a cheap rat b......

Still very cool though.

I use an eight prong, diamond head chisel. Your heads seemed farther apart, but thinner and more rounded. You obviously hand stitch, are you having any problems getting both needles through the holes, or do you open the holes with a fid after making them?

I like small, close stitches better then big, loopy stitches. How many stitches per inch do you get with your new chisel?

Hey Scoobie,

Yes, I hand sew a lot, gets my brain to turn off for some reason?

My likes: I like a super slanted tight hole. If I have to use a pair of needle nose pliers to get a single needle through the hole sometimes, its perfect! Using an awl is very common. I like that 40 to 45 degree angle tooth coupled with a tight hole. Makes the thread lay perfect in my opinion. Nothing chunky or rippled with light showing through holes where the thread is. Tight!

SPI (stitches per inch) on the new Crimson Hides irons  - 4.0 is 7 spi. I own/use sets at 2.7, 3.0, 3.38, 3.85 and now 4.0 (newbies)

I do also use a sewing machine for the quickies. 

Please also note: I am still in my first year at this hobby :-)
