Tips for use :
- Use an ERTALON plate, a vinyl plate or a self-healing mat as a cutting support.
- Your claw must be vertical when you strike.
- Strike with a wooden or polymer mallet, it must be heavy enough for a precise and less tiring cut. Do not use a steel hammer. With a mallet, you mark several holes in the leather to make your seams. You can also completely cross fine leathers (1mm max). - When you want to mark thick leather, do not hesitate to put a thin layer of beeswax on the teeth to facilitate sliding and not risk damaging the claw.
Hardened steel blade. Very high wear resistance.
