BG & Corter French/Flat Style Pricking Irons

With decades of leathercraft experience, and extensive knowledge on the history of leather working tools, Corter has designed its flagship leather chisel. The BG & Corter French tooth leather chisels are made with hardened tool steel, polished teeth, and a blackened handle. They provide comfort, accuracy, durability, and a delicate cut. Designed for the crafter, made to be your workhorse. 

Sold Separately:

Tooth Shape: French/Flat

  • French (flat) tooth shape (please see the 2nd images above for tooth shape)
  • 45° angle of tooth
  • Direction (Obverse): / / / / / / / /
  • Tooth width: 2.4mm at tip - 3.7mm at base
  • Tooth length: 10mm

Tooth Amount Options: 1, 2, 5, 9 teeth

Tooth Spacing Options:

  • 3.38mm, 3.85mm, 5mm
    • Spacing is measured from the center of one tooth to the next

Material: 

  • Steel (SKD11)
    • We reviewed a variety of steel options and landed on SKD11 tool steel. There is a fine balance of hardness, as too hard can make the teeth brittle, and too soft will not achieve a sharp tooth that will hold its shape. Performance and durability being the ultimate factors in our decision.

What makes the BG and Corter pricking irons different?

  • Solid steel construction. 
  • Large flat head provides easy grip and precision when aligning teeth on leather. 
  • Slim design allows for better visibility of leather and teeth when aligning and hammering into leather.
  • Contoured and tapered handle for comfortable and easy handling.
  • Machined and polished teeth allows for precise accuracy of every tooth, with smooth cutting and release from leather.
    • The 'release' may be the second most important aspect of a pricking iron, second only to the cleanliness and accuracy of the holes that the blades make. By 'release' we mean the amount of pull needed to remove the blades from the leather and pad after hammering. The highly polished teeth allows for an easy release with little effort. Unpolished or rough blades require more effort to pull and can cause you to rotate the blades left and right when pulling out, expanding and bloating the holes.

As good as any others out there

Like other reviewers have said, these irons are really well made. They punch clean consistent stitch holes and if you take care of them will last many many years.

A new experience

I’ve not tried French picking lrons so it was different trying to figure out where to line up the tines with my marks. But it does a great job.

These were a gift for my leather-working son so all I can say about them is that your service was great.

Fantastic Performance!

Since I am a rank beginner I bought a cheap set of Chinese tools on Amazon for $39. This set included four stitching chisels (or irons or whatever the term is today) and they worked ok for a while. They were dull as can be - actually they were rough-finished and they were almost impossible to get ou...
