Are these PRICKING IRONS a MONEY-SAVER? UNBOXING + TEST || ASMR

[@maryb.9391]

I purchased from their website, getting a nice collection and am very happy with the quality. Kemovan has been upgrading the metal they use, so I went with the harder D2 steel. I also see other companies reselling their products.

[@AlexanderMason1]

No. Keamovan is reselling another company’s products. Keamovan and other companies from China get these tools from the same factory in China. They just ask the manufacturer to laser etch their brand name on the tool. Then they sell it for a bit more. Really good price for the quality and it is made to really high standards, not the lower end Chinese made junk people are used to.

I noticed your wix web page link is no longer available. What is your new web page if you have one.

[@mogad5730]

Thank you for this video, i was looking for some references for those particular chisels, you saved me a good amount of money 😁

[@TOTUIA]

Happy to hear that!

[@wilsonmiller1903]

I’ve had a set of these for about a year now and they are still very sharp and straight. I think they are amazing!

[@TOTUIA]

Completely agree!

[@aaronpage1822]

I bought these and didn’t receive what was pictured on their website. I got some super generic ones that you can buy on eBay for a couple bucks and they just etched the company name into them. Really bummed

[@TOTUIA]

Oh, that is disappointing! As I say at the beginning, I'm not paid or anything to show these chisels. I just like them and wanted to share my opinion. I'm sorry you are not satisfied too:(

[@TOTUIA]

Btw, thank you for your comment so that other people can be aware of your bad experience!

[@aaronpage1822]

@@TOTUIA I also emailed them and they made a mistake. Their customer service is great. They have lower grade irons that they offer and that was what I received. They are sending me the ones I ordered and said to keep the others.

[@TOTUIA]

I'm happy to read that! Again, not because I have any kind of interest. But they were very kind with me, so I was quite surprised and sad for your bad experience!

I count buy them Etsy just take credit cards and in the Netherlands we use ideal, my Paypal is useless with Etsy, mmm thanks for your videos by the ways my first language is Spanish

[@danielirvine7468]

Just ordered some look forward to getting them thanks for letting us know

[@TOTUIA]

You're welcome, hope you'll like them!:)

[@sydneylmyers]

What thickness do you think these could penetrate completely (no awl needed) without making a hole that's too large? I'm looking for something that handle bifold wallets, so 3-4 layers of 3-4 oz leather, but skived on the edges. Thank you for the review and your insights.

[@TOTUIA]

Hi, thank you for your comment:) For some of my wallets I use 4 layers of 3-4 oz leather as well (not skived on the edges) and they work good, the hole is of the proper size to me. Than obviously there's your personal taste, but I think they could work for you!

[@AlexanderMason1]

These are too thick to punch all the way. Get some of the higher end more modern ones with thinner teeth if you want to punch completely through. These have thicker teeth but are pretty well polished and amazing if you use an awl and stitch the traditional way. For the price, they are a steal.

[@ndoghouse6853]

Whats the difference between these diamond ones and the punches. I ordered a punch but maybe that was not a good idea? Im total new to this. I also ordered one of them 5 in 1 edge beveler folder etc... It was garbage. not even usable. For $13 tho I pretty much expected it.

[@TOTUIA]

Hi! Well, the main difference between these stitching chisels and punches is the shape of the stitching line. To me, there is not a better one, it really depends on your preference. Regarding multi-use tools, I generally don't like them because they try to do so many things but, in the end, they are not good in any of those.

[@MarkedHq]

Awesome!

[@TOTUIA]

Thank you:)

[@REJUCILO]

Hello, I would like to know after a while of having them if they are still a good option, these skewers. I want to buy something good and that will last a long time. Thanks for the answer, I follow you in networks and I learn a lot, I like your workshop and your work, thanks best regards

[@TOTUIA]

Hi! Thank you for your comment, glad to know you like my videos:) I've been using them for 5 months and after this period I can definitely recommend the purchase. They are still as sharp as they arrived and I really like them. That said, I don't know whether in the future they'll keep the same level of quality, but for the moment I still think they offer good value for money!

[@snsdmylove1]

Hi, many people says that we can't punch all the way through the leather with a pricking iron, and we have to mark the leather first, then, open the hole with a awl. Any thoughts about that?

[@TOTUIA]

Hi! Thank you for your comment. Yeah, I know a lot of people that use pricking irons to mark the leather and other tools to open it. But, on the contrary, I know many other ones that only use one tool. It depends on many things: your style, leather you have, thickness, etc. In my case, pricking irons are enough:)

Considering to buy ones. Can you tell me what thread size you used with this 3.85 irons?

[@TOTUIA]

0.6mm :)

[@danielirvine7468]

Great video thanks I may get a set I have seen this brand before they look like they do a bunch of nice stuff . May I ask where you got the cool wooden storage unit?

[@TOTUIA]

Yeah, a lot of their tools loom very good! That storage unit is homemade:)

[@kevincohn5862]

Nothing was mentioned about how much? They cost and where to get them....please tell. And thanks....kpc.

[@TOTUIA]

If you look the description, there's the link of the website where I bought them:)

[@kevincohn5862]

Thanks. Kpc

[@marcosgrillo7511]

Ciao, ti faccio una domanda in inglese perché, anche se capisco l'italiano, mi è ancora difficile formulare frasi. Question ❓ what material is this punching board made of? Is it cork? If so, how thick is it and what is your opinion using it for that? Thank you in advance 🙌

[@TOTUIA]

Hi, thank you for your question! Yes, it's cork and, after having tested it for a while, my opinion is negative. I mean, it works. But it's way too weak, so I don't recommend it (especially if you work with thick leather)!

[@marcosgrillo7511]

@@TOTUIA Thanks for the reply! By the way, I didn't mention it before but your job is very professional, congratulations!

[@TOTUIA]

Thanks, really appreciate that:)

[@knippo]

Video ben fatto e super interessante “as usual” soprattutto per chi come me non può permettersi dei ferri sinabroks :)

[@TOTUIA]

Grazie mille per il commento! Era proprio quello l'obiettivo, un'alternativa valida ai ferri "di moda":)

[@knippo]

Conosci oka factory? Prezzi contenuti e qualità made in japan... sto provando il loro french skiver, un rasoio!

[@TOTUIA]

@@knippo conoscevo già, ma adesso che me lo confermi proverò a prendere qualcosa dei loro prodotti:)

[@knippo]

Ciao...ti scrivo per sapere se consiglieresti ancora questi ferri, avrei quasi deciso di ordinarli, i diamond fanno buchi troppo grossi per i miei gusti...

[@V3leathercraft]

Sad... No shipping to India 😥😥
