You can use a lifter from Barry King Tools (6th row down, center photo). Well worth the money.

Here's a link showing one used. I made a couple out of scracth awls if you don't to buy one. Cut your awl on angle and the use a whet stone to smooth it up then polis it on a buffing wheel. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=9037&hl=clayb&st=0

The tool is a petal lifter or lifter. Tandy has one that is a bit cheaper, but it will require some sharpening. Barry King does sell them, but at a higher cost depending on your level of crafting. I have a set of custom one that were made by Big Papa Leather on this forum! They are extremely sharp!

Good luck.
