Ivan Lacing Nippers

Ivan Lacing Nippers.

Leather Slit Punch Tool for Gussets, Corners, and Hard-to-Reach Areas.

Make detailed lacing and stitching prep easier with the Ivan Lacing Nippers, a handy specialty tool designed to punch clean slits in gussets and other hard-to-reach corners where standard chisels can be difficult to use. A great supplementary tool for your stitching and lacing setup, these nippers are especially useful when working in tight spaces that need accurate slit placement for lacing, decorative assembly, or precise corner work.

When building bags, pouches, cases, or other shaped leather goods, there are often areas where straight chisels or larger tools cannot easily reach. The Ivan Lacing Nippers are made to solve that problem by allowing you to punch slits in confined areas with greater control. This makes them an excellent tool for gusset construction, corner lacing, curved edges, and any project where tight access can make slit punching more challenging. For leathercrafters working on structured items or detailed lace-up designs, these nippers are a very useful bench companion.

Designed as a support tool for stitching and lacing chisels, these nippers help complete the areas those tools may not handle easily. They are especially valuable for finishing corners neatly and maintaining consistent slit placement in spots where alignment and reach are important. Whether you are working on wallets, pouches, cases, bags, or decorative lace-up leather goods, they can help improve precision in detailed sections of the project.

A built-in tension spring automatically opens the jaws after each squeeze, helping make the tool quicker and more comfortable to use during repeated punching. This spring-assisted action improves workflow and reduces hand fatigue, especially when working through multiple slits or detailed corner sections. Combined with the rubber handle, which adds extra comfort and grip, the tool offers better control and a more secure feel in the hand.

Available in three sizes, the Ivan Lacing Nippers give you options for different slit widths and project requirements. Smaller sizes are ideal for finer lace work and smaller leather goods, while the larger size is better suited for bolder lacing and heavier projects. This range makes the tool adaptable to a variety of leathercraft styles and construction methods.
