Usage tips :
- Use an ERTALON plate, vinyl plate or 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 stroke of the mallet, you mark several holes in the leather to make your seams. You can also completely cross thin leathers (1mm maximum).
- When you want to mark thick leathers, do not hesitate to put a thin layer of beeswax on the teeth to make it easier to slide and not risk damaging the claw.
