KS Blade Round Dent vs Diamond

I have a set of KS 3.85 round dents. I orig bought them because I wanted to make flip out bags but I have not done that yet. I’ve done a baseball stitch for a blade sleeve and some ornaments. They’re well made, very sharp and expensive. At the time I did not see anyone else selling them. Of course, I now see them all over and cheaper.

One "imaginative question":

IF a luxury handbags brand would use one of the pricking irons available on the market, which one in your opinion it will use ?

I agree that WUTA makes a great product.

Buuuut, I just ordered the Round Dent set from KS before the holidays. Hasn't arrived yet.

I do prefer the angled pricking irons, but I'm keen to try out the round dent, as I'd tinkered with a few tools that actually cut holes and (when sharp) they worked moderately well on thinner hide.

However, in some cases the angled pricking irons have weakened thinner vegtan (W&C, even), even to breaking. So I'm exploring more options as reference (read: $$$).

I'm really hoping the KS tools are long enough to do thicker vegtan all the way up to 10oz if possible. We'll see.

+1 for the Wuta ones. I went for the 3.85mm ones but wish I'd give for 3.38mm in hindsight. I feel like giving the 3.0mm ones a go also.

Thanks for the link. I assume 3,38 is the most versatile, right?

Thanks to all of you for this post. It saves me research. I’ll go directly to Wuta :) I have chisel from them in 3 and 4mm and the quality is really good. Now is time for the European ones

The round one, is ment for straight stitches. or cross stich. If you want to make stitches like Philip. then chose the diamond one :D
