Description
The Kevin Lee 3.85mm French-style pricking iron set combines the 2-tooth and 8-tooth irons — the two most-used irons in everyday leathercraft. 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.
This set combines the 2-tooth and 8-tooth irons at the same 3.85mm pitch. The 2-tooth iron gives control when changing direction around corners and curves, while the 8-tooth iron marks more holes per strike on straighter sections.
Key Details
- Heat-treated alloy steel at 58 HRC for long-term durability
- Individually mirror-polished teeth for clean extraction from leather
- 3.85mm pitch — versatile for wallets, straps, belts and bags
- 140mm body length for improved alignment and control
- Supplied in a bamboo presentation box
Set Contents
Both irons use the same French-style tooth geometry and produce the same spacing and hole profile. The difference is simply the number of holes marked per strike. A 12-tooth iron is available in the separate three-piece set for makers who prefer a longer iron on straight stitching lines.

Clifford Grace –
Bought the Kevin Lee 2-tooth and 8-tooth pricking iron set. Tried them on about 3.5 mm leather and they glide in and out very smoothly. The stitch marks are clean and evenly spaced and the tools are nicely finished. Really pleased with them.

I’m very happy with my recent order from Hideout Craft. The tools arrived quickly and were well packaged. The quality is excellent and exactly as described, which is really important when working on detailed leather projects.
I especially appreciate the attention to detail and the reliability of your products — it makes the crafting process much more enjoyable.
I’ll definitely be ordering again and would recommend your shop to other leathercrafters.
Thank you!
