YORKSHINE Japanese Pricking Iron

Elevate your leathercraft projects with the Yorkshine Japanese Style Pricking Iron. This professional-grade tool is the result of deep collaboration between master leather crafters and precision engineering, designed to deliver flawless, slanted stitch lines with every strike.

Crafted from imported Japanese DC53 tool steel, this iron strikes the perfect balance between extreme durability and razor-sharp edge retention. Whether you are a seasoned professional or a dedicated enthusiast, the Yorkshine Iron offers a level of stability and precision that standard tools simply cannot match.

Key Performance Features

1. Japanese DC53 Die Steel: The "Golden Balance"

Most chisels fail because they are either too soft to stay sharp or too brittle to last. We utilize heat-treated Japanese DC53 Die Steel (55HRC) to provide:

• Extreme Toughness: Virtually eliminates the risk of snapping or bending teeth, even under heavy daily use.

• Superior Edge Retention: Maintains a razor-sharp point for effortless penetration through the thickest leathers.

2. Military-Grade Rust Protection

To combat the oxidation common in traditional tool steel, the Yorkshine iron undergoes a Specialized Blackening Process—the same anti-corrosion technology used for military firearms.

• Advanced Durability: A deep protective layer that resists rust and wear.

• Low Maintenance: Keeps your tool in pristine condition, even in humid workshop environments.

3. Re-engineered Ergonomics

We have redesigned the classic chisel body to maximize user control and comfort:

• Extended Body: Provides a clearer line of sight to your marking line, ensuring perfect alignment.

• Thickened Handle: The weighted, beefier grip absorbs hammer shock and reduces hand fatigue, offering unmatched stability during long stitching sessions.

4. Authentic Japanese Aesthetic & Precision

Rooted in traditional craftsmanship, this tool is designed to meet strict Japanese geometric standards.

• Perfect Stitching: Produces clean, sharp diamond-shaped holes for beautiful, professional slanted stitch lines.

• Exquisite Finish: Features a matte black gun-metal finish that makes it a stunning centerpiece on any artisan’s workbench.
