PETITE SELLIER LOSANGE AWL
Please note, this tool is not an ordinary awl, it is the demonstration of the intelligence and know-how of a
French craftsman who has completely rethought the design of an ancient tool: the
awl with pliers .
While everyone thought that this tool would no longer evolve,
Jérôme David now offers you a
very high quality tool .
The awl is an extension of the hand, it must be pleasant to use in order to do quality work. Among all the saddler/leatherworker's tools, the awl is the one you will most often have in your hands, so you need to know how to equip yourself with a good tool.
By combining aesthetics, ergonomics, precious materials and high technology, Jérôme David has invented the awl that we have all one day dreamed of owning.
The blade is made of high performance cobalt steel and is delivered already perfectly sharpened .
Its width of 2.5 mm allows sewing for small saddlery parts.
The ferrule is made of titanium , its tip is entirely polished and does not mark the leather, even if the blade is pressed in.
The handle is ergonomic and will provide you with excellent comfort of use, it has a flat surface which will allow you to always pick up the awl in the same way, thus allowing you to have a regular cutting angle.
You can choose the rotation of the blade in relation to the handle in order to obtain exactly the point you want by using the screw at the end of the handle (TORX screw no. 15).
The blade is very sharp and delivered already sharpened, a significant time saving as this operation is often tedious. You just need to keep the blade sharp by passing it from time to time over the leather of a strop.
The shape of the blade has been perfectly studied in order to penetrate the leather like butter, but also to be able to come out without having to feel this small blocking point specific to ordinary awls.

Beautiful seams are yours!
