Stitching Chisel
Function
Like pricking irons, stitching chisels' main purpose is to set up your stitch placement on your work.
Comments
Diamond chisels are the stitching hole maker of choice for most new leather workers. They are strong, easy to use, and affordable. Ensure you don't buy a diamond chisel that is black. The black ones are actually covered in a coating which makes them difficult to go in and out if leather.
