I have been using Loree AK and Pisoni Deluxe staples for a while now... But recently, I have taken an interest in Chudnow Sierra staples. All the Sierra staples that I've tried out before did not fit my Loree mandrel well. However, I've heard that Mr. Chudnow has changed the design of the Sierra in the last month or two...
Do these "new" Sierra staples fit on Loree mandrels?

I hope he hasn't changed them! I have tried many different kinds and always come back to the Sierra...they are a great fit for my mandrel, setup, scrape, shape, and horn. 😀

I think it's his chudnow mandrel....not sure. I have had it for about 16 years.

FWIW These staples fit my Rigotti mandrel perfectly. And maybe I'm crazy but I far prefer the gold plated version. (Have been told materials shouldn't matter but I have far better luck w the gold then the brass)

I use a Chudnow mandrel on the old Sierra staples. Good fit. They don't seem to fit my Rigotti very well.

Odd. They fit mine perfectly. Must be variations in Mandrel quality control (not shocking I guess). I have had to send back a few chudnow staples b/c fit was too tight, but probably no more than 10%.

The Chudnow staples fit my Rigotti mandrel just fine. The tip of the mandrel just peek over the edge of the staple a little bit. They're not terribly expensive either, about $20 instead of $90 for the Loree mandrels.
