Julian L. ★★★★★

The tapered point slides through leather like butter, and it leaves the stitch holes perfectly burnished without any roughness. I’ve been using it on my current wallet project and the holes stay clean and consistent across different thicknesses.

Kevin ★★★★★

The tapered point slid right through my stiff veg-tan leather without any tearing, making the stitch holes look clean and professional. I've had cheaper awls that left rough edges, but this one burnishes as it goes, so I don't have to run a separate tool over each hole.

Madison ★★★★★

The tapered point went through my thick leather effortlessly, and the burnishing it leaves behind is so smooth I barely had to sand afterwards. The action of widening and finishing the hole in one step really saved me a lot of time on this project.
