Antler awls

Found some useful looking awls that look rather like knapping pressure flakers or notching tools at http://www.crossmancrafts.co.uk/sewing/ at a reasonable price, they sell one tipped with antler as well as steel. I'm tempted, beats making your own!

Interesting, it's very thin though I wonder if it could take the pressure?

This site is already on my favourites list. I do leatherworking, and they have a fine selection of quality needles.
Must admit, didn't think about the awls for pressure knapping. Bit iffy about how thin they are myself.

No harm in trying, that's how the wheel was invented.
