Kevin Lee French Style Pricking Irons

Description

Renowned for their precision and craftsmanship, Kevin Lee’s French-style pricking irons are trusted by leatherworkers around the world. Each iron is machined from rust-resistant alloy steel, heat-treated to 58 HRC for durability, and polished to a mirror finish for smooth, effortless extraction from leather.

At 140mm, these irons are slightly longer than most standard pricking irons. This added length gives extra comfort for those with larger hands while also benefiting all users by making it easier to keep punches perfectly aligned. The longer handle allows you to visually track your strikes more accurately, resulting in straighter stitching lines and consistent holes.

The finely tapered teeth are designed with a 45° angle to provide clean, consistent stitch marks with minimal resistance, helping to produce straight stitching lines and uniform holes across a wide range of leather thicknesses.
