Haha I did hear him saying he wasn't impressed by it indeed :)) Tbh it is a very nice thread to work with but maybe kept for cruder things (and also I have 500m spools of it so I'll try and use them gradually :)). I have been sticking to polyester but bought a few spools of vinymo MBT thread in .6/.7 mm and I am very pleased with it, this is what it looks like with the same pricking irons on a couple of wallets:

Thanks Fadi, really appreciate the feedback. You're right, I started off using very wide spacing and thick thread as I was looking towards Leatherman sheaths and other bushcraft outdoorsy things but I should really thin things down I realise. This is tiger thread in .8 mm with a 6 SPI (4mm) KS blade punch. I do use an awl as an aide for tricky construction holes but not yet consistent enough on the backside to use it for completely stitching a piece I want to sell, so I went all the way through with the KS irons on these ones. I use the awl when I stitch with the blanchard 9 SPI I have (for watch straps mostly) but still practicing...

Hi Fadi, thanks for the welcome! Yup exactly, made it seem much easier than it is too! :) Just posted several iterations of a wallet I'm playing with, let me know what you think I'll go back to browsing the site now
