This reverse punch marks the interval of stitching points on leather to ensure beautiful, regular saddle stitches. The mark created is diamond-shaped (diamond point).
The stitch is "reversed"; it is symmetrical to the "standard" stitch. This stitch is generally used for double-pricking or for making a joint on a creation that has been sewn with a professional sewing machine.
Each stitch is 1.4 mm wide and the spacing between each stitch is 5 mm. Ideal for large leather goods.

Usage tips :
- Use a self-healing mat or an ERTALON plate as a cutting surface.
- Your prong should 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 to make your stitches. You can also completely penetrate 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 avoid damaging the prong.
Hardened steel blade.

Which spacing should I choose for my creation?
Spacing is the distance between two points: it should be chosen based on the item you want to create (aesthetic choice).
