Thanks so much for this. Been doing loads of research before shelling out for some irons. Had seen Kevin Lee and wondered - your video convinced me. Bought a set yesterday - can't wait to get them. Thank you for sharing

Wow, 20 videos in the books on irons! Nigel, this information is invaluable. You cover everything one needs in order to make an informed decision. What more could anyone ask?

I started with his 5mm black irons and now have his 3mm French irons. I’m mostly using JJ size 004 irons and 0.4-0.45 mm thread with good results. Fair price and he is easy to communicate and work with. Shipping is fairly quick 7-14days and reasonable price to the US. Glad to see your review and findings similar to my experience.

I picked up a set of Kevin Lee’s Basic French Irons, which are an even more affordable option. I like the look of a diamond chisel hole and wanted to try a pricking iron style without investing much. They are much smaller than these but work great.

I just bought the 2,7 2+8 KS pricking irons you tested. Thank you very much for your videos, they helped me a lot on my journey. Cheers from Germany

Just picked up the Pricking Iron (French Style), 2 and 8 tooth. Cost me $90 which is half the price of KS Blade and the holes left are half the size of KS. Highly recommend these.

Is there going to be a review for Kevin's diamond chisels? I'm planning on buy them and would like to see an in depth look at then. Love your work Nigel!

I just purchased a set of 3mm from him last week and couldn’t find any good reviews. I came across your other pricking iron reviews and was really hoping you’d do a review of Kevin’s. Thank you!

I recently saw these pricking iron from China with the brand 4z which you can get in amazon. Would love to see you do a review on them.

They are made from D2 steel which is very good. Can rust if not oiled but the high polish helps it. Mine are from makers leather supply but literally look identical to these!

I have both and Crimsons produce more of a straight stitch. Kevins French irons produce the slant stitch. Both great quality.
