At CÍ, we’ve always carefully selected high-quality tools that meet the needs of leather crafters, and the AMY ROKE French Style Pricking Iron is undoubtedly one of the finest we offer. With an excellent reputation worldwide among luxury brands and top-tier leather artisans, it stands out as an exceptional choice.

Crafted from premium Swedish Uddeholm ASSAB high-end alloy steel, the pricking iron is precisely heat-treated to achieve perfect strength and durability. Each pricking iron is hand-polished by master craftsmen to ensure prongs with a mirror-like finish, providing the highest level of quality.

The smooth, sharp prongs make it easy to pierce the leather, creating clean, consistent stitch holes without distorting the fibers of the second layer. This preserves the integrity of the leather’s surface, ensuring a professional, flawless finish every time.

The AMY ROKE pricking iron also features an ergonomic handle, offering a variety of grip positions to suit the crafter’s comfort and control, setting it apart from other tools on the market.

Available Sizes:

• 2.7mm 
• 3.0mm 
• 3.38mm 
• 3.85mm 

 

Usage & Care Tips for AMY ROKE French Style Pricking Iron:

1. It’s recommended to use a 300-400g nylon-headed hammer for even force distribution and to protect the pricking iron handle.
2. For best results, using a 4-5cm thick stone cutting board or mat as the striking surface is ideal. This setup provides a stable, quiet work environment while maintaining accuracy and a good tactile feel, free from the force loss typical of softer surfaces or standard nylon mats.
3. After each use, it’s advised to clean both the prongs and handle, especially if you tend to sweat heavily. This will help maintain the tool's performance and longevity.

To ensure the longevity and performance of your pricking irons:

• Use a cutting mat or nylon board as your base. Avoid soft or overly elastic materials, as well as wooden boards — their inconsistent hardness can increase the risk of broken teeth.

• When punching, stop as soon as the teeth just pass through the leather. Ideally, there should only be a light mark left on the surface of the cutting board.

• Avoid driving the teeth too deep into the base, as this can cause unnecessary stress and potential damage to the tool.

These guidelines apply to the use and care of most pricking irons, regardless of brand or style.
