Kevin Lee Pricking Iron Set – 3.85mm (2, 8, 12 Tooth)

Description

The Kevin Lee 3.85mm French-style pricking iron set — 2, 8 and 12 tooth — is the complete kit for serious hand stitching across all project sizes. Each iron is machined from hardened, rust-resistant alloy steel, heat-treated to 58 HRC and mirror-polished for smooth, consistent stitch holes. Hideout Craft is an authorised Kevin Lee stockist in the UK.

The 2-tooth handles corners and curved sections. The 8-tooth covers most straight runs on wallets, straps and panels. The 12-tooth is built for longer seams — belts, bag gussets and anywhere you need to cover distance with consistent spacing.

Choosing the Right Set
