Does anyone know where to get Pratt sounds that don't have the sizes stamped into the metal?

As over a month has passed I presume that nobody does know of Pratt sounds without the sizes stamped into them. I don't either. You do not explain your objection to the sizes being stamped into them. Most probably find it helpful to have the sizes stamped into them so that they can select the best size for their purpose, perhaps a bit of gentle stretching.

I had a set that had the sizes printed on them which were completely smooth. I don't hav e that set anymore. I went to buy another set, but they have the numbers stamped into them making rough edges that can cause injury when going deep. Maybe they're just not made that way anymore.

I had that problem but solved it by using a very fine file to smooth out the punch. It doesn't take much effort.
