High Precision Oblong Punch - Vergez Blanchard (Forged Steel)
Achieve luxurious finishes on your leathercraft projects with the Vergez Blanchard oblong punch . This essential tool, made in France, is specifically designed for punching the elongated grooves needed for the pin in belt buckles, bag closures, and technical straps.
Forged from a single piece of monobloc steel , this punch stands out for its exceptional robustness. Each unit is hardened and hand-sharpened in the workshop, allowing for a surgical cut even in thick, vegetable-tanned leather. Its internal conical geometry facilitates the automatic evacuation of excess material, preventing blockages and ensuring smooth, consistent production.
As it is a high-precision impact tool, it is recommended to use it with a soft-faced mallet (ABS or nylon type) and a suitable cutting base to protect the edge and prolong the life of this craft piece.
Capabilities and Use:
- Master Finish: Clean and symmetrical perforations without burrs.
- Versatility: Ideal for belts, saddlery, watch straps and designer leather goods.
- Durability: High-strength forged steel for continuous impact resistance.
- Maintenance: Easy to set and resharpen thanks to the quality of its tempered steel.
