Due to the sharp point and "blade" on the needle, this needle cuts through leather more easily.
Attention. These needles are specifically designed for real leather, not faux leather, cork leather or other materials. While they can certainly be a good choice at times, the blade can also damage the alterative material, making it just easier to tear through at the seam. Therefore, always choose a larger stitch length.
For faux leather, we initially recommend a microtex or super universal needle.
