C.S. Osborne #149, Arch Punch.
Made in the USA by C.S. Osborne & Co.—a trusted leader in leatherworking tools since 1826—the No. 149 Arch Punch is drop-forged from a single piece of special high-carbon steel, built to handle tough materials with ease.
Featuring a signature arch design with a tapered clearance barrel, it allows punched discs to clear easily through the arch without jamming. Designed for rigorous daily use, this tool is an absolute staple in any serious leather or upholstery shop.
Sa conception en arche (étrier) distinctive et son intérieur évidé permettent une évacuation fluide des débris après chaque frappe, évitant tout bourrage. C'est l'outil indispensable pour percer des trous propres et réguliers dans des matériaux résistants.
Key Features:
- Drop-Forged High Carbon Steel: Heat-treated and hand-sharpened edge for clean cuts and long-lasting sharpness.

To extend the lifespan of the cutting edge, always use a proper cutting board (poundo board, polypropylene, or dense scrap leather) and a polymer, rawhide, or wooden mallet (avoid direct impact with steel hammers).
