I just called the Douglas'. The Mrs. answered. What a sweet lady.

They're sending me a catalog. But she said they could find just about any used tool, if you know what you are looking for specifically.

She also said she never heard of this Forum. So I told her about it. All you people here, and you never mentioned leatherworker.net?

[jwwright]

Just in case you have not heard...........Bob Douglas makes the best awls. As you probably learned from your conversation with him, he's a darn good source for many other tools as well. JW

That was easy...Does Mr Douglas offer a catalog? Can I get contact info for him? Oh yeah will these blades fit in the Barry King handles?
