Awl size to acompany pricking irons

Hello all,


I have been wanting to switch from the stichting chisels I currently use to pricking irons. I would use then for both punching all the way through on small items and I want to get started on learning how to use an awl.

I plan on getting a set of 7spi pricking irons from Kevin Lee, but I'm struggling to find which awl size/brand/shape, etc, would be most suitable for me.

I make mostly smallers items and wallets although I want to dip into the bag world too.


Thanks everyone in advance!

@Leathercraft Masterclass what do you think is a good overall awl size, if I would only buy 1 to start with. 2.0mm or maybe 2.5mm?
