Punch four equally sized and evenly spaced stitch holes using this leather stitch punch, made in Japan, by Kyoshin Elle, a renowned leathercraft tools manufacturer. This stitch punch is made of tool steel, which is recognized for its hardness, abrasion resistance, ability to retain a cutting edge, and resistance to deformation, a great material for making leathercraft tools. This tool will help you to punch holes in a precise diamond shape that is ideal for leather stitching. This tool also features an anti-slip handle that helps with grip and prevents slippage.

This four-prong pricking iron is intended for straight stitching lines and maintaining correct size continuity with previously punched holes. This high-quality tool is produced to the highest standards in Japan and will last many years.

Approximate Dimensions & Product Data:

  • Material: Tool Steel
  • Compatible Size: 4mm

Available prong numbers and sizes (each sold separately):

  • 1-Prong (3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm)
  • 2-Prong (3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm)
  • 3-Prong (3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm)
  • 4-Prong (3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm)
  • 6-Prong (3mm, 4mm, 5mm)

The prongs are heavily tempered to provide maximum hardness, these also have the added benefit of allowing damaged prongs to snap off rather than bend in order to avoid unnoticed bent prongs from permanently ruining your leatherwork. To ensure the longevity of your tool, always use a soft-headed hammer or mallet (never metal) and gently tap it into your leather work. When removing the prongs from your leatherwork, always pull it straight out; never rock it side to side to loosen it, since this might snap the prongs. It is advised that you wax your prongs with a suitable wax on a regular basis to facilitate removal.
