50K0601 - Lee Valley Scratch Awl
Most scratch awls have a round handle, which makes it easy for them to roll off a bench. We designed this one with a 3" long hardwood handle with two flats to ensure it does not go anywhere when you lay it down.
The 5" long tapered blade is dressed to a fine point for precise marking and layout.
Hardened to Rc55, the high-carbon steel blade does not dull quickly.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Wood dust, which is known to the State of California to cause Cancer. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov (opens in new tab).
