Modern durability with artisan finishing.
Made from Sweden ASSAB S-136 stainless steel, renowned for its abrasion and corrosion resistance, these irons undergo vacuum heat treatment and cryogenic cooling for uniform grain structure and long-term toughness. With a hardness of 52–54 HRC, they balance strength and resharpenability.
Each prong is individually hand-polished and sharpened, ensuring smooth penetration and effortless release. The graphite-black oxide finish adds corrosion resistance, reduces drag, and delivers a sleek professional look.

When you choose a set of three Graphite Pricking Irons/Stitching Chisels, they come packaged in a walnut wooden box, with free customisation included. You can choose to have your logo or a name engraved in your preferred font, with an engraving area of approximately 11 x 15 cm.
If you’d like engraving, please email us immediately after your purchase with the details, or we will dispatch the box without engraving. Our logo will be on the back of the box. You can also select a different brass closure style; please email us your preference, otherwise, we will ship with a randomly selected closure.
Please note, the leather logo panel shown in the photos may not be included—it is just an example to inspire you on how to personalise your wooden box and add a unique touch.
We recommend using Punching Board (can be purchased here) with our pricking irons.

1 Year Warranty
We want you to love our “GRAPHITE” Pricking Irons as much as we do. Our warranties ensure you have a fantastic experience while giving you total peace of mind. This product is covered by the following comprehensive product warranties.
1st Year Repair Warranty
If your item is damaged in the first year. After returning the product to us (Please note that we are not responsible for return shipping), we will either repair it or send you a new item free of charge including shipping.
WARRANTY EXEMPTIONS AND NOTES
If the tools are dropped or misused (ie. punching on a hard surface), the warranty of the product will be deemed void. No compensation is available in such cases.
Customers must first send a clear photo or video of the damaged product before they are returned. Please use good lighting, and a close distance, so we can identify and verify the issue(s). This is really important because the material we used in this tool would cause different damage to the tool if it is dropped on the floor or hitting on the hard surfaces, which do not cover in the warranty.
