Crafted from high-grade Hitachi 440C stainless steel (Japan) and vacuum heat-treated to 57-60 HRC, these tools offer exceptional hardness and long-lasting edge retention. In addition, each tooth is hand-polished to a mirror finish, allowing smooth penetration and effortless release. Consequently, you achieve clean, French-style stitching marks with absolute precision on every project.
At Leather Artisan Lab, every tool undergoes strict testing to guarantee clean punching performance. We partner directly with master toolmakers and premier global manufacturers, including Leather Wranglers, Okada Tools, Vergez Blanchard, Pro Atelier Plus, and Palosanto.

These hollow pricking irons are extraordinary tools, but correct usage is essential. Over time, industry design evolved from making light surface marks for awl piercing to fully punching through leather up to 5–7mm thick. Because modern teeth are thinner and sharper for cleaner cuts, always pull the tool out strictly vertically after striking. Wiggling side-to-side while stuck in the cutting mat exerts heavy lateral pressure, which can easily bend or break outer teeth. Once pulled straight up, the hand-polished teeth release effortlessly from the hide.
