Product Description
An Awl is a sharp pointed tool used to pierce paper, leather and sailcloth to create holes for stitching. Very fine awls are often called paper piercing tools and are used to create small even holes for decoration or for book binding.
Awls usually have a wooden handle and a pointed tip that leads to a wider shaft. The shaft is two to three inches long. Awls for leather work will describe what hole size they produce.
