I've never seen one sold for leather use. But, a punched hole in one material is much like a punched hole in another. I've got just such a punch for punching holes in sheet metal. It would work just fine on leather. Mine's a cheapy from Harbor freight, but the basic design is available many places. One down side is that to change hole sizes, you have to change dies, which means you have to have a tool, and have to have not lost the replacement die.
