Scratch Awl

A precision scratch awl is one of those small tools you reach for constantly. It gives you a crisp, accurate mark for layout lines, hinge positions, pilot holes, and transferring measurements, especially on tricky grain where pencils wander. Workshop tested by HNT Gordon, we stock premium scratch awls from Colen Clenton and Harold & Saxon, chosen for comfortable handling, fine control, and tough points that stay sharp and true.
