Take it to a saddler and get it done with the right punch. Those hole punches are a bit coarse....and TBH I break them every time I go near one!
I've used one of those hole punches - on my stirrup leathers, it worked ok?

Well, all I have done in the past when attempting to use one of those is end up with an explosion of little metal bits that don't go back together.
Thing is stirrup leathers and girth billets and any heavy leather "ought" to be done with an oval, not a round punch.
I've never had an issue with one of those rotating hole punches! Blimey!
We have the bits off one of those hole punches and Dom uses the appropriate size, a piece of board and a hammer.
You COUNTED??? :wink::giggle:
As I look at the scar and stitch marks still visible on the middle finger of my left hand after 10 years I can honestly say...
-not a sharp knife-
