Usage tips:
- Use an ERTALON plate, a vinyl plate 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 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 to make your stitches. 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 teeth to facilitate gliding and prevent damage to the chisel.
Hardened steel blade.- When marking thick leathers, do not hesitate to apply a thin layer of beeswax to the teeth to facilitate gliding and prevent damage to the chisel.
