4 Prong Stitching Chisel – 2.5mm Japanese Leatherworking Tool
4 Prong Stitching Chisel helps prepare leather for hand sewing by punching a short row of holes in one operation. Made in Japan, this tool has four slightly offset prongs, each measuring 2.5mm wide. Its four-prong layout is useful for working along straight stitching lines and following gentle curves.
Preparing holes before sewing gives you a clear path for your needle and thread. This makes the chisel a practical addition to your workbench when making leather accessories or assembling hand-stitched projects. Mark your stitching line first and test the tool on an offcut to check the result against your chosen leather, needle and thread.

Choosing Your 4 Prong Stitching Chisel
The 2.5mm measurement refers to the width of each prong. It does not specify the distance between hole centres. If you are matching an existing seam or another stitching tool, check the hole pattern before starting your finished piece.
Four prongs offer a useful balance between covering a straight run and positioning the tool around a smooth corner. For tight turns, plan your hole placement carefully rather than forcing all four prongs around the curve.
Applications
Use this tool when preparing hand-sewn seams on projects such as:
– Wallets and cardholders
– Leather pouches and small bags
– Straps and accessory panels
– General leathercraft projects requiring a planned stitching line
Using Your Chisel
Place the leather on a suitable punching board. Hold the tool upright and use a leathercraft mallet to drive the prongs into the leather. Keep your alignment consistent as you continue along the marked line. Avoid twisting the tool sideways during removal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 2.5mm the stitch spacing?
No. This listing specifies 2.5mm prong width, rather than centre-to-centre spacing.
Can it follow corners?
The four-prong design suits gentle curves. Tight corners need more careful individual hole placement.
