A curved awl blade designed for leatherworkers and craftspeople who need to pierce holes or openings in leather and heavy materials, especially in curved or hard‑to‑reach areas where straight awl blades struggle to follow the material’s shape. 

The gentle curvature of the blade lets you guide it around rounded edges and concave surfaces with greater control, making it ideal for preparing stitch lines, enlarging existing holes, or positioning thread during hand sewing. 

This 63 mm  backing awl blade pairs with a compatible handle (sold separately) for a comfortable, secure grip and reliable performance in saddlery, bag making, upholstery and other traditional leathercraft tasks.

Key Features: 

• Curved awl blade that reaches into tight or rounded areas of work for improved access and accuracy.
• 63 mm (2¾″) length offers good reach and leverage through thick or layered materials.
• Helps prepare clean stitch holes or openings before hand sewing.
• Works with standard awl handles (sold separately) for comfortable grip and control.
• Made in Great Britain to trusted workshop quality standards.

Whether you’re stitching around curves or preparing leather panels with complex shapes, this curved awl blade gives you the precision and accessibility needed for professional‑level hand sewing and finishing.

Made in the UK.
