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 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 mark several holes in the leather for your stitching. You can also completely pierce thin leathers (max 1mm).
- When marking thick leathers, do not hesitate to apply a thin layer of beeswax to the prongs to facilitate gliding and avoid damaging the chisel.
