INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Fit the awl into a suitable handle, making sure the shank is firmly fixed. Mark the position of the hole on the material and place the piece on a stable, strong surface. Hold the awl firmly and place the point on the marked spot, then push firmly, following the curve of the blade and turning the handle slightly, until the material is pierced. Pull the awl out along the same curve, without forcing or twisting it. For stitching, keep the holes evenly spaced and of the same depth, then pass the thread through. Do not use on materials that are too hard, do not lever with the blade and keep your free hand away from the path of the point. After use, clean the blade with a dry cloth, protect it with a cap or store it in a safe, dry place, out of the reach of children. Check that the point stays sharp and undeformed, and resharpen it or replace the awl if necessary.

English steel awls with a thin blade and an eye, for piercing and stitching leather and hide, designed for shoemakers, leather-goods makers and leather craftsmen. The curve lets you enter the material at a precise working angle, making piercing and passing the thread easier in hand stitching, even on edges, corners and parts already assembled. Useful for repairing shoes, bags, belts and other leather items, or finishing work that needs a precise hole. The thin shank fits into a handle for a comfortable, secure grip. Strong and handy, they are a valuable tool for anyone who works leather, whether professionally or as a hobby.
