Hand-forged leatherworking awl with ash wood handle by Sharky Forged Steel Tools

Quiet precision, held in the hand

A tapered steel point, an ash handle warm to the touch—ready when the work slows down and the line matters.

At the bench

Lines you can trust

Hand-forged intent

The Hand-Forged Leatherworking Awl by Sharky Forged Steel Tools turns guesswork into clean marks and true stitch guides. Its sharpened 52100 steel point meets leather and wood with confidence, so holes land exactly where you planned. The shaped ash handle settles into the palm, easing long sessions. Small, solid, and always within reach on the cutting mat.

Control you can feel

In leatherwork and fine craft, alignment is the difference between rough and refined. This awl lets you place a single point with calm certainty—no fraying, no wandering lines. The result is work that reads as considered from the first pierce to the last stitch.

Made for the bench-led life

Leatherworkers, woodworkers, and sewists who value tactile control and a tool that disappears into their grip.

How it’s used

Mark stitch lines, pierce leather, or start pilot points in wood while guiding seams with steady, accurate placement.
