Steel Design Punch for 5.0 mm Five-Pointed Stars, 60 HRC Hardness
This steel design punch stamps a precise 5.0 mm five-pointed star onto metal, leather, or clay. The striking face is cleanly milled to ensure a sharp, well-defined impression with every strike. Its 60 HRC hardness rating provides the durability needed for repeated use on non-ferrous metals without dulling or deforming the design.
The 70 mm long, round-profile shank offers a comfortable and secure grip, allowing for accurate placement before striking. Its compact size and 40g weight make it easy to control and integrate into any stamping workflow, whether you're working at a dedicated bench or with a more portable setup.
Ideal for adding maker's marks to jewellery, personalising metal blanks, or embellishing leatherwork and other craft components.
