darkmatter35 Report post Posted March 12, 2016 Hi, I'm going to buy a BK awl handle, is there a preference as to which one to purchase? large, Medium, or small. Its hard to tell without holding one. Thanks, John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King's X Report post Posted March 12, 2016 I would say it depends on your personal preference. If you hand stitch the traditional way, that will be a big influence on your choice. If you do not stitch using traditional means, then I would consider your palm size. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkmatter35 Report post Posted March 12, 2016 Well I don't stitch traditionally, sometimes pushing the awl through four or maybe even five pieces of leather making sheaths. Thanks, John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkmatter35 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 Following up on this thread, I emailed Barry and he recommended the medium awl and #1 blade for the type of use I described to him. I purchased them and used it on a few projects. The awl fits my hand well, I push downward using my hand and palm. Lots of control and comfort in my hand. The blade is sharp and goes threw leather smoothly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
