Ivan Jerk Needle Awls. Sizes #5 and #8, Heavy-Duty Hook Awls with Hardwood Handles. Tackle tough stitching jobs with confidence using the Ivan Jerk Needle Awls, heavy-duty tools built for strength, control, and precision. Available in Sizes #5 and #8, these awls feature an open hook design that makes them ideal for hand-sewing heavyweight leather, canvas, and other dense materials where standard needles won’t do the job. Designed specifically for pull-through stitching techniques like lock-stitching, these awls are equipped with a sharp, tapered tip that pierces even the thickest leather with ease. Once inserted, the open hook captures thread and pulls it back through the material, allowing you to create durable, reliable stitches without the need for pre-punched holes. This makes the Ivan Jerk Needle Awl a go-to tool for saddle repairs, tack work, harness making, and heavy-duty leather construction. Each awl features a solid hardwood handle, contoured for a comfortable grip and excellent control, even during prolonged use. The handle’s ergonomic shape gives you the leverage you need for confident punching, while the steel blade resists bending and maintains a fine point for repeated use. Available Sizes: Size #5 – For finer heavyweight work and slightly tighter stitch patterns. Size #8 – For more rugged stitching or larger thread and stitch spacing. Features: Heavy-duty construction for use with thick leathers, canvas, and utility fabrics. Open hook design for lockstitch-style hand sewing. Sharp, pointy tip easily pierces heavyweight materials. Hardened steel blade maintains strength and sharpness over time. Contoured hardwood handle for comfort, control, and durability. Ideal for saddlery, harness repair, gear making, and other high-stress leatherwork. Compatible with waxed thread or cord for strong, long-lasting stitches. When you need strength, precision, and control in one tool, the Ivan Jerk Needle Awls deliver. Whether you’re working in the field or the workshop, these rugged awls are essential for serious leathercrafters and repair professionals alike.
