This Vergez Blanchard round awl is forged from spring steel, providing a strong yet resilient blade suited to repeated use in dense and firm leathers. The blade is hand-polished to reduce resistance, allowing smoother penetration even when working with thicker hides.
 
The blade features a square cross-section, with a maximum width of 3.8 mm. 
 
A large-diameter boxwood handle provides a secure, powerful grip, supporting steady hand pressure during use. The blade is fitted with a steel ferrule.
 
Although the blade is supplied polished, it is recommended that users further refine or sharpen the tip to suit their personal working style and the specific leather being used.
