Vergez Blanchard - Premium Pricking Irons
OVERVIEW
Vergez Blanchard is one of the oldest remaining suppliers of leathercraft tools. They have been making tools since 1823. Their tools are still hand made today just outside of Paris, France.
These pricking irons forged and hand finished in a high quality steel and have a nice weight to them. The heavier weight makes it easy to set the tool in the correct position, preventing it from moving on you. The width of the teeth are fairly thin (unlike many irons) and create a very clean, non-bulky opening for threading.
You can purchase in individual irons or sets. The pricking iron sets includes both a 2 tooth iron and ~1 inch wide iron (6,7,8,9,10,11, or 13 teeth pending the size you choose). The wider iron makes quick punching on the longer straight parts of your leather, while the 2 teeth iron will allow you to navigate the bends in your stitch layout. These 2 irons together will cover all your situations when laying out your stitch pattern.
These irons will really develop your hand stitching efficiency and will produce extremely clean stitches. In my opinion these are the some of the best pricking irons you can buy and one of the fastest ways to improve your hand stitching.
