Ok leathercrafters, where do you purchase your leather stitch punches? I am making a few knife sheaths and have a sailmakers sewing tool, but will need to get a punch to keep the stitches equally spaced.  Thanks, GH

For what you are going to do, one can get overstitch wheels from Tandy leather for very little and make do fine with 6-8 stitches per inch.
