craftsman827 Report post Posted December 9, 2016 I've been doing a lot of hand stitching. I am down to one awl blade, my Tandy blade just broke. I'm looking to purchase a Good awl blade. Has anyone here have or used, CS Osborne awl blades ? I'm looking to purchase their # E-44 2" Saddlers Harness Awl from their web site, it's $ 8.01. I use a lot of CS Osborne leather tools, I've always been satisfied with their products ! Any input would be appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CWR Report post Posted December 9, 2016 It won't come ready to use. But if you don't mind spending the time to sharpen and polish it it will work fine.and should last for many years. CW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
