The awl is the most fundamental tool in leathercraft. Beginners often focus solely on pricking irons or needles, but it is ultimately the precision of the awl that determines the stitch quality and the overall class of the final piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While a drill rotates and 'destroys' leather fibers, an awl pushes the structure aside to create a 'path' for the thread to pass through. If this path is off by even 1 mm, the tension of the stitching collapses, and the entire stitch line becomes distorted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
