DIAMOND AWL - SMALL LEATHER GOODS
Please note, this is not an ordinary awl; it is a demonstration of the intelligence and expertise of a French craftsman who has completely rethought the design of an ancient tool: the pincers awl.The awl is an extension of the hand; it must be pleasant to use to produce quality work. Among all the tools a saddler/leatherworker uses, the awl is the one you will hold most often, so it is important to equip yourself with a good tool.
The blade is made of high-performance cobalt steel and comes perfectly sharpened.
The ferrule is made of titanium, its tip is fully polished and does not mark the leather, even if the blade is pushed in all the way.
The wooden handle is ergonomic and provides excellent comfort of use. It features a flat side that allows you to grip the awl in the same way every time, ensuring a consistent cutting angle.
You can adjust the rotation of the blade relative to the handle to achieve the exact point you desire by using the screw at the end of the handle (TORX #15 screw).
The blade's shape has been perfectly designed to penetrate leather like butter, but also to withdraw without that small snagging point typical of ordinary awls.
