- This video will hopefully assist you in choosing the right tool to suit you.and your style of stitching.
Due to it's size and to make it easier to find the iron you want to see, it has been broken down into a number of parts.
In addition to this, you can download the specification sheet from. www.armitageleather.com/shop
So glad you are back (and making videos on RUclips) Nigel !! I was getting worried there for a bit and hoping you were OK. Cheers!
I haven't been far Rob,
Just too many orders to have enough time for the videos.

Well since this video was made Dixon have gone bust and the Euro rate is now so low that the 8 tooth iron is £131 not £86, should have bought some a while back! :(
I guess Im kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to stream newly released movies online ?
I bought 9 spi set 10+2 and also bought 2 teeth inverse. also bought 3.38 and 3.85mm(2 teeth). I found it cheaper in France than in the USA and other countries. I did not use it yet, because I don't do many and use crimson 2 sets, 4z(2 sets), since leather 2 sets, another Chinese(154$) and 3-4 cheap Chinese and kyoshen elle. Maybe later I will keep 2-3 sets and the rest of them resold. Thinking to buy a Ks_blade set and I see many use them.
Disculpe mi observación. Estas herramientas, las de acero blando y las templadas tienen distintas aplicaciones, para distintas costuras y principalmente para cueros diferentes. Por regla general para cueros de espesor mayor a 2 mm se las utiliza solo para marcar. Para cueros finos, curtidos al cromo se los puede utilizar para perforar totalmente la pieza a coser siempre que el espesor total no supera los 2 mm. Aprendí esto doblando varios de ellos de acero blando y quebrando dientes en el caso de los de acero duro. Todo por utilizarlas inadecuadamente. Espero sea de utilidad. Saludos.
If this tool is tool steel, then it is NOT case hardened, it would be hardened and then tempered back down to give it more "spring", case hardening would made it glass hard, and extremely brittle, especially given the small cross sectional area of the tines, they would break the first time it was used.
I have a 7spi you can borrow if you want to review it :) Great videos Nigel!
Thank you Tolik but i'm done now.
I do think I will be buying a few Blanchard irons though.
I still have Vladimir's here and can't put it down.
The more i use it, the more i like it!

Great info here!
You're pronouncing Chinois very well actually. It's fil chinois (fil is thread in english) and you would pronounce it just like the word "fill", but with less emphasis on the L, just a quick L. You know what I mean.
Thank you for that, at least I know i got one thing right in the video.

This is the first time I have had a general question, I hope hope you don't mind. I'm fortunate to have a Dixon plough gauge which is my preferred method of strap cutting, until now. I have had to cut straps 1.25 " wide from a Bakers oak bark stirrup butt 5-6 mm thick. This is the third or fourth butt I have had, I failed to cut the straps on my own, one pal helped to hold the butt still, and another pal helped push my elbow as I pushed and held the plough. The pain in the palm of my hand was like tooth ache, I cuts four straps and had to stop. With hindsight I could, and should, have honed the blade between cuts, never the less very comfortable and impractical.
I watched on Y Tube a wooden strap cutter being used were the user pulled the cutter towards himself, your comments would be appreciated.
With kind regards... Mark
It does sound like you need to hone the blade somewhat, it should not be that hard.
I have several strap cutters but tend to always use the cheaper 'Strap Cutter' made by The Leather Works Company.
This is mainly because I am left handed and the other strap cutters are right handed.
That being said, it cuts a dream, changeable blade, but easy to remove and sharpen and very very easy to use.
I mainly use it on bridle leather 4-5mm thick and it cuts fine, but so does the Osborne.
Have a go at sharpening your blade, it should not be hard to cut a strap
If you put too much pressure onto a cut, it moves the leather and you will be cutting a slight curve into a straight strap.

Nigel
That helpful, many Thanks
Hey Nigel...quick question on the awl size for such a tiny hole width. Did you grind one down to the right size or did you find one that tiny somewhere. The ones I have are WAY too wide to try a 12 spi stitch...
I m thinking about getting a 9sti and using Tiger 0,6 or Chinois 532. Have you bought that pricking irons yet? Thanks again for your vdos
What about a high-end iron that goes all the way through?
Hey, a quick question to anyone who may know. I'm looking to buy some Tiger thread and I can't find anywhere here in Spain where I live. Any tips on a good supplier in Europe? Thanks a bunch in advance.
In considering the pricking irons and not the stitching irons only because the latter pass through the leather entirely and there is no need for an awl to follow, isn't the shape of the hole and therefore the brand of iron used academic since the shape of the awl will dictate the final shape of the hole? Especially on the back side.
What is the metal marking tool you use??
Are you al eft handed?
Oh my God, that is an easily replicated piece of stainless steel. Hmb, I'll be making a 3d printable file of the whole set so you guys can have them all for pennies on the dollar. They're out of copyright protection, so there's not going to be an issue with legality even in the EU. I normally would feel a bad about doing that, but their prices are so absurd it should be illegal.
3D print? As in plastic? Lmao good luck with your little project.
