Stitching Chisels (Slanted) - French Style
Couldn't load pickup availability
A set of French-style stitching irons designed to create clean, slanted stitch holes or marks in leather prior to hand sewing. These tools are manufactured from heat-treated stainless steel for durability and consistent edge geometry, and are intended for regular workshop use.
Purpose & Hole Type
These irons are used to mark or punch angled holes for traditional saddle stitching. Unlike round-hole chisels that create circular perforations, French-style irons produce slim, slanted holes that guide thread into a refined, elegant stitch line with a distinctive European aesthetic.

Usage Requirements
✓ Required Surface
Use only on a punching board, HDPE cutting base, or a poly board. Soft surfaces reduce penetration efficiency and can damage tooth tips.
✓ Proper Technique
Strike vertically using a wooden, nylon, or leather mallet/maul. Do not twist the tool while embedded in leather — pull straight up to prevent tooth misalignment.
Workshop Tool Finish — Cosmetic Marks Policy
These are functional workshop tools. Minor surface marks, machining lines, light scratches, or small handling bumps may be present from manufacturing and handling. Such cosmetic imperfections are normal and do not affect hole accuracy, alignment, or stitching performance.
