Punch out! Give it your awl.

I particularly like the awl on this old Carl Schlieper, gifted to me by Campbellclanman , and often reach for it when working on projects in the house, as well as when I am out hiking

Another one I particularly like is on my Mauser Officer's Knife, which has seen a huge amount of use over the 40 years I've had it, and which I also regularly use at home

Couple of SAK VICTORINOX, the Electrician has become a must carry for surf fishing (SS with a short Sheepfoot and an Awl). That Awl blade is perfect for drilling a tiny hole in a Fishbite to ease it onto a hook. OH

HSB Junior Cattle Knife. Pawnshop find in Fort Worth TX about 7-8 years ago (forgot to pack a pocketknife in my check-in bag) - hard to go a week without a pocketknife, luckily the pawnshop was next door to the motel. OH

A pattern from Burgundy and Parisian grape!

The punch on this #35 (HJ6?) is needle-sharp If I remember correctly, paulhilborn used to use it to hold the last inch of a nice cigar!

How about the one on this tiny Lady's Knife?

 

[Will Power]

This sturdy frame stays in the kitchen drawer but sees a lot of service when it's hole time. A very generous present from Old Hunter

For me, this was first of awl, on my Colonial Forest-Master that I got around 1960. Used this a lot repairing/modifying surcingles that were used to hang a milking machine on a cow on our dairy farm, adding holes to human belts, drilling lanyard holes into apple slingers and walking sticks, and punching holes in any stuff that, IMHO, needed a hole in it.

That awl is bigger than a lot of blades! You could stick a pig with it.

I really like the fancy bolsters on those S&M! You've got a nice collection of awl knives.

Lovely! What is that stag beauty at the bottom?

The punch on this #35 (HJ6?) is needle-sharp If I remember correctly, paulhilborn used to use it to hold the last inch of a nice cigar!

This is the one I'd love to get into my collection someday (or Charlie's SFO in ebony). That tip looks like it disappears--I wonder how many angels could dance on it?

How about the one on this tiny Lady's Knife?

Dainty and fine. I've not seen on in that shape before.
