1. KS Blade
Korean company KS Blade produces one of the best stitching punches. They are a bit expensive but the built quality and popularity of the punches justify the price. They also have a good selection of hole punches and strap punches.
2. Sinabroks
Korean company Sinabroks is a pricey but premium alternative for leathercrafters. Unlike KS Blade they only provide stitching punches. The brass handle of their punches is popular.
3. Wuta
Another quality stitching punch is Wuta. They are not as popular or expensive as KS Blade or Sinabroks but they have sharp tools and they provide good value for the money.
4. China-Produced Versions
There are many punching tools sold on sites and can cost much less than the above alternatives. Cheaper tools usually are made from lower-quality materials and sometimes are not sharp enough to produce quality results. However, in some cases they are good tools though just not finished well in the production process. In some cases they can be a good alternative if needed, after some sharpening is done by sandpaper or with a Dremel rotary tool.
