Pricking Irons

Pricking irons set consistent stitch spacing before hand stitching leather. This range covers French-style and diamond irons in 3.85mm and 4mm pitch, with 2-, 8- and 12-tooth options across the available products.

A 2-tooth iron is useful around curves and at the ends of a stitch line. Higher tooth counts help maintain spacing across longer straight sections. Match the pitch to the other irons used on the same project so the spacing remains consistent.
