Shop our awls, these are essential leathercraft hand tools that typically have a sharp point that is either rounded or diamond shaped.

Rounded tip awls are used for marking up leather, for scratching out for designs, for creating fold crease lines in softer leather. Diamond tip stitching awls are used to make more elongated holes in the leather that allow the stitch to sit neatly and for the hole to be very discreet. They can also be used to open up holes that chisels have made, and to help to align holes while stitching. 

Both types are an essential leatherworking tool.
