Usage tips :
- Use a self-healing mat or an ERTALON plate 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 precise, less tiring cutting. Do not use a steel hammer. With one strike of the mallet, you mark several holes in the leather for your stitches. You can also completely pierce thin leathers (max 1mm).
- 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.
Hardened steel blade.

Which spacing should I choose for my creation?
The spacing is the distance between two stitches: it should be chosen according to the item you wish to create (aesthetic choice).
Different spacing / thread diameter combinations yield different aesthetic results: the choice is yours!
