awl
Cobbler's sharp implement
An awl is a pointed tool for piercing small holes in leather, wood, or other materials.
It consists of a sharp metal spike set in a handle.
Cobblers, leatherworkers, and woodworkers use awls to start holes before stitching or inserting fasteners: She pushed the awl through the belt to make a new hole.
