Thin round leather sewing awl no handle

Round Awl Without Handle – 4 to 21 cm

The round awl is a traditional essential tool for leather artisans, specially designed to prepare stitches and work with precision. Its rounded tip allows you to pierce or enlarge holes in a controlled way, which is crucial for starting or ending hand stitching, or adjusting existing perforations without damaging the thread.

Unlike the diamond awl (or “pliers awl”), which is primarily used to make holes for saddle stitching, the round awl is ideal for:

• Enlarging or reshaping existing holes to facilitate needle passage;

• Marking, piercing, or guiding the thread at the beginning and end of a stitch;

• Working in corners or delicate points, where the rounded shape provides greater control.

The round awl features a simple but effective design, making it an indispensable tool for leatherwork, saddlery, and all hand-stitching tasks.

Product features:

• Total length: 4 to 21 cm, to suit all your needs;

• Rounded blade in hardened steel – designed to last and glide cleanly through leather fibers;

• Sold without handle – allowing you to pair it with the awl handle that best fits your working style.

The round awl is usually used with a round handle (sold separately), which you can attach according to your comfort and preferred working style.
