Leather punch Kuźnia Sułkowice Wycinak rymarski 6mm — hand tool for cutting holes

Kuźnia Sułkowice Wycinak rymarski 6mm is a manual leather punch designed to cut precise circular holes with a 6 mm diameter. The hand tool is intended for saddlery, leathercraft and general repair work where repeatable, clean holes are required for rivets, lacing, eyelets or belt adjustments. Its simple mechanical design enables controlled cutting on leather and similar flexible materials without electrical power.

Advantages

The tool produces uniform 6 mm round holes with minimal material deformation, providing consistent results across multiple punches. As a compact, hand-operated device it offers portability and ease of use without the need for power sources. Its metal construction ensures durability for workshop and field use, while the sharp-edged punch delivers clean cuts that reduce the need for post-processing on punched edges.

Suitable for

• Saddlery and harness repair
• Leather goods manufacturing and hobby leatherworking
• Creating holes for rivets, lace, eyelets and buckles
• On-site repairs and craft workshops where a manual punch is preferred

Key specifications

• Hole diameter: 6 mm
• Operation: manual hand punch
• Primary materials: designed for leather and similar flexible materials (e.g., thick fabrics, some synthetics)
• Cut profile: circular hole with sharp-edged punch for clean cut
• Construction: metal punch body suitable for repeated mechanical use

How to use

Position the leather piece on a stable cutting surface and mark the desired hole location. Align the punch with the mark and apply steady, controlled force to drive the punch through the material; depending on thickness, strike the punch with a mallet or apply manual pressure according to tool design. After cutting, remove the slug from the punch and check the hole for cleanliness. Repeatable placement can be achieved by measuring and marking each hole prior to punching.

Usage recommendations

Use a solid, impact-resistant backing such as a cutting mat or scrap wood to protect surfaces and preserve the punch edge. For thicker leather, use firm, evenly-distributed strikes and periodically clear or sharpen the punch edge to maintain clean cuts. Wear appropriate hand protection when applying impact force.
