Kevin Lee French Pricking Iron Set – 4mm (2, 8 Tooth)

Description

The Kevin Lee 4mm 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 4mm 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
• 4mm pitch — versatile for wallets, straps, belts and bags
• 140mm body length for improved alignment and control
• Supplied in a bamboo presentation box

Which tooth count to use

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.
