Members ThreeLRanch Posted March 15, 2021 Members Report Posted March 15, 2021 Well I ordered a set from Springfield and got them today and I guess I was thinking that they might be just a little bigger , they look like they were made for kids or something so I’m sending them back. what are some good ones that I can get because I’ve looked and looked and it seems hard to find any that are in stock. I don’t mind spend some cash on them if need be , tried finding some Kevin Lee but only can find 20 teeth and I don’t really what that many. Any advise would be great on where to find some good quality ones. Quote

No, no. They are described as pricking irons but they are chisels. I know because I have a set: they punch through thick layers like butter. Of course, there's a limit, but I've punched 10 oz with them with an ease that I just don't get from Seiwa's chisels (and Seiwas are darn good: they're the budget option, from goodsjapan.com).

Members battlemunky Posted March 15, 2021 Members Report Posted March 15, 2021 I have Sinabroks and they are verrry similar to KS Blades. Agreed they can double for both pricking irons and stitching irons. I've used then in what summed to 12 oz and they were just starting to sweat although they did start making the topside a good bit wider. Quote
CFM Hardrada Posted March 15, 2021 CFM Report Posted March 15, 2021 Yup, Sinabroks are made by someone who used to work for KS Blade and then went on his own: Quote
Members jcuk Posted March 15, 2021 Members Report Posted March 15, 2021 Easy solution learn to double hand stitch/saddle stitch using an Awl and needle with the pricking iron you already own Hope this helps JCUK Quote

See a demo: So is the round dent better than what they call the pricking ? Do they come out of the leather pretty easy ? Quote

Do they come out of the leather pretty easy ? That depends on what you are stitching. If you are doing a turned bag, round dent may be better. If you want to see slanted stitching, maybe not better.
