C.S. Osborne Bag/Oblong Punch Tool

This is a high quality professional grade punch for leather crafters. It cuts cleanly thru 8-9 Oz hide. You can make larger slots easily by overlapping cuts, say for 2" straps. I am very happy with the performance of this tool.

Excellent value for the price, and makes slot cutting effortless and perfectly clean. I'm going to be collecting these in the sizes I use most. The slots just look professional when I use this, versus when I have to make them manually.

I received my CS Osbourne oblong punch on time. At my first examination I noticed the punch was not sharp at all, but decided to try it anyway, since it was a top of the line tool made by C.S. Osborn. I tried to use it on a 9 oz belt I was making, it wouldn't even cut it. It only made an indention. It is more dull then a butter knife. I'm very unsatisfied!! And deeply disappointed in this purchase since it was a C.S. Osborn Tool.

I use it for making holes for straps in leather and rubber soles. Got dull pretty quickly (maybe I shouldn't use it for rubber. I'm not sure. Mine broke. I was attempting to cut a hole in leather sole. I did this on a wooden surface, and perhaps I hit it too hard so it went through the leather and lodged in the wood just a few millimeters. I wiggled it to get it out and the steel broke with the piece remaining lodge in the wood. I was able to pry it out, and solder it back on.

Item shipped fast! Promised by the 16th and it arrived on the 11th. The tool itself could have been packaged a little better but that is the only negative. This this is solid!!! Super sharp and makes a perfect clean punch...this has made my new holsters look even better!!

Litterally. I have punched a hole in so many things with this! Leather, paper, fabric, wood, donuts, very small rocks, ducks.... you name it. Next - I'm going to punch a hole in the sky!

Very well made. This is my second Osborne oblong punch, just a different size. My only complaint is - for the money, can’t C.S. Osborne hire someone who knows how to sharpen these punches? They arrive well packaged but really lacking on sharpness. I’m glad I can sharpen them because I love the tool. Fits well in my large hands and have lots of metal to them. Ergonomically very comfortable and easy to use. Please, sharpen the darn things.I will continue to buy these because they are worth it.

Worked great. Nice clean cuts. Will buy another from here in another size
