Description

Punch for cutting holes in leather. The punch has a 1 1/32" conical frustum with a circular hollow. At the back end of the punch opening is a piece of rubber filling the hole. The frustum transitions into the shank, with a concave line creating a half-cylinder continuing and tapering off after 2 1/16". The shank is one-third less in height than the frustum's diameter. The shape of the shank is that of a bisected octagon.
