Each folder varies slightly in thickness and shape. We have a variety of awls to suit both professional and student needs. The bookbinder's awl was designed to penetrate an entire signature without creating an overly large hole. The stubby awl has a shorter thicker shaft that fits snug in the palm of the hand. Our economy awl is perfect for student use.
Grain runs with the short side.
