Shenandoah Tool Works Birdcage Awl
This birdcage awl was designed for both beauty and functionality. Ideal for starting and drillingholes, the awl’s shaft is hand forged and twisted from 01 steel with a Rockwell hardness of 62. The tipis sharpened for starting and boring holes which the square shank then widens through repeatedtwisting.
The 1-3/4″ diameter handle is sized to fit comfortably in the user’s hand and will allow theapplication of a generous amount of pressure when twisting the awl. The finger grip is positioned inprecisely the right place to enable a firm grip. Each Shenandoah Awl handle is personallyhand turned from a solid block of Padauk, a wood valued for its toughness and stability, as well asits rich color.
