Craftool® Japanese Diamond Awl Blade

Tried these out on some veg-tan leather and they cut through cleanly without any tearing. The blade seats tightly in the haft just like described.

I was a little skeptical about the precision, but the way it seats firmly in the haft and cuts such a clean hole makes stitching look so much more professional.

Finally, an awl blade that actually seats properly in the haft without wobbling. The clean, consistent holes it punches make hand stitching look much more professional.
