- Your claw must be 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 blow of the mallet, you mark several holes in the leather to make your stitching. You can also go completely through thin leathers (1 mm max).
- When you want to mark thick leathers, do not hesitate to put a thin layer of beeswax on the teeth to facilitate sliding and not risk damaging the claw.
