Tandy Leather Craftool Scratch Awl 3217-00

Pictures can be (very) deceptive: In the photo you tend to think this is a good, robust size & strong. In the flesh, it is really very small, delicate & fine. I am slightly concerned as to how strong it is going to be. I think it may be fine for thin leathers & woven fabrics etc but I don't think it is up to handling any thick leathers. It will still be a handy tool to have but I have to admit to being a bit disappointed when I saw it. Total length - 10.7cms. Blade/awl part is approx. 5.8cms long & approx. 2mm wide at thickest part. Wooden handle is approx. 2.6cms wide at the widest/most bulbous point. Hope this is of help to anyone else.
