The Saddler's Scratch Awl features a rich mahogany handle with a nickel ferrule, shaped into a compact bulb that sits naturally in the palm. It is the go-to tool for marking stitch lines, transferring patterns, and all the layout work that happens before the stitching begins.
The finer needle profile gives you better visibility right at the point of contact, making it easier to trace accurately and stay on line. It is lightweight, and best suited for lightweight to medium-weight leather.
Applications
- Marking stitch lines
- Transferring patterns
- Opening existing stitch holes
- Light piercing work

🤚 Compact palm-grip handle for comfortable control during extended layout sessions
