Choosing the Right Awl for Leatherwork: A Comprehensive Guide

The most common pointed hand tool for piercing leather is an awl. There are several types of awls, each suited for different purposes:

* Diamond Awl: Creates a small, diamond-shaped hole. Best for fine leatherwork and creating a clean, consistent stitch line.

* Round Awl: Makes a round hole. Used for larger stitching holes or for punching holes for rivets and other hardware.

* Scratch Awl: Used for marking lines on leather, but can also be used to create small holes.

* Stitching Awl: Used for hand sewing leather, often used with a waxed thread and two needles.

* Speedy Stitcher Awl: A specialized awl that both pierces and stitches the leather in one motion.

So, to answer your question directly: Awl.
