Craftool® Pro Curved Stitching Awl

The curved diamond blade lets me stitch the inside of a bag flap without any resistance, and the handle feels balanced in my hand. I've been using it for two weeks now and it hasn't needed any sharpening.

Finally, an awl that actually stays sharp through a whole project—I've already used mine to stitch a curved wallet panel and it glided through like butter. The stainless steel handle gives it just enough heft to control the angle without slipping.

The curved diamond-shaped blade sank into the leather cleanly on the first try, making the stitching on this bag strap much easier. It held its edge through the whole project without any sign of dulling.
