Stainless Steel Leather Burnishing Awl
Stainless Steel Leather Edge Burnishing Awl for burnishing, polishing and enlarging holes in leather. Use with a quality burnishing cream such as Tokonole Leather Burnishing Gum for best effect.
Size: 11.5 cm length, 4.5 cm blade length.
A stainless steel leather burnishing awl is a multifunctional, tapered tool used to enlarge, smooth and polish (burnish) pre-punched holes in leather, particularly for hardware installation or thicker stitching. Unlike standard awls, its smooth, tapered shaft allows it to compress and burnish the inner edges of holes up to 11mm, creating a professional, slick, and durable finish that prevents fraying.
