This is a French awl, often used in conjunction with European pricking irons in leathercraft. Also known as a European awl or flat awl, it is characterized by the straightness of the holes it creates. It is used in the same way as a general diamond awl. Although it is not a very well-known product, I think it is a great item to help you create beautiful works. The beautiful purple sandalwood (rosewood) handle is made of wood also used in high-end furniture, and it feels good in the hand and is very hard, so I think you can use it for a long time. I think the feel and texture are very important elements for tools that you often touch.
