Usage tips:
- Use an ERTALON sheet, a vinyl sheet, or a self-healing mat as a cutting surface.
- Your chisel must be perfectly vertical when you strike.
- Strike with a wooden or polymer mallet; it should be heavy enough for a precise and less tiring cut. Do not use a steel hammer. With one strike of the mallet, you mark several holes in the leather for your stitching. You can also completely penetrate thin leathers (1mm max).
- When marking thick leathers, feel free to apply a thin layer of beeswax to the teeth to facilitate gliding and prevent damage to the chisel.
Very high wear resistance.
