Striking claws are used to mark the interval between the stitches on the leather in order to have nice even seams.
With a stroke of the mallet, you mark several holes in the leather to make your seams. You can also completely pass through thin leathers, but you must limit this use to soft leathers of 1.5 mm thickness maximum. Trying to pierce thicker leathers may damage the claws.
Tips for use : - Use a self-healing mat or an ERTALON plate as a cutting support. - Your claw must be vertical when you strike. - Strike with a wooden or polymer mallet. Do not use a steel hammer.
Each stitch is 1.5mm wide Total length of tool: 9.5 cm Hardened steel blade
Information : Also available in a 1-tooth precision striking claw (Ref. TA110).

What spacing should I choose for my creation? The center distance is the distance between two points: it must be chosen according to the item you wish to create (aesthetic choice). The different center distance / wire diameter combinations give different aesthetic results: the choice is yours!
