Differences are, this tool makes slots, that are fairly wide, and,,, the ends line up with eachother. A proper pricking iron for stitching/sewing generally makes very small diamond shape holes or impressions that are at a slight angle so the points don't actually line up, but they are all in an even row.Well shoot, everyone is quick to tell me I'm wrong but nobody will tell me the difference!
Thats a lacing prick. It's different from a stitching prick because it's flat. It cuts flat hole or slot more suitable for leather lacing rather than thread. Good for making pouches you want to look more rustic or authentic than a modern saddle stitch.My friend's father had passed some time ago and we were going thru his rondy box. Found this tool and do not know its use. The handle was stamped Taiwan so we know it does not belong but the tool head was very sharp. Guessing for knapping flint ?? Any help would be appreciated.

Yer right.It's for punching holes in leather so your stitching is nice and even. I think they are called stitching punches or chisels.
Please,, indulge us with some period examples or support for using lacing as opposed to a saddle stitch. You know, the saddle stitching that was being used for saddle and harness work at the time.Thats a lacing prick. It's different from a stitching prick because it's flat. It cuts flat hole or slot more suitable for leather lacing rather than thread. Good for making pouches you want to look more rustic or authentic than a modern saddle stitch.
Two pricking irons, or stitching chisels. Not the best on the market but they work. 2 different numbers of stitches per inch with the higher number one also being of finer teeth thus smaller holes.Well shoot, everyone is quick to tell me I'm wrong but nobody will tell me the difference!
