Usage tips:
- Use an ERTALON plate, a vinyl plate, or a self-healing mat as a cutting surface.
- Your chisel should be perfectly vertical when striking.
- Strike with a wooden or polymer mallet; it should be heavy enough for precise and less tiring cutting. Do not use a steel hammer. With one strike of the mallet, you make several holes in the leather to create your stitches. You can also completely pierce through the leather.
When you want to pierce thick leathers, do not hesitate to apply a thin layer of beeswax to the teeth to facilitate gliding and avoid damaging the chisel.
