Pearl & Bead Stringing Awl — Rubber Handle Tool for Tight, Consistent Knots

A hand-knotted strand stands or falls on where each knot sits: tight against the bead, every time. The fine steel point of this awl sits inside the loose knot and guides it down the thread until it is flush with the pearl, then slips free as you draw it snug. The result is even spacing and no slack, from the first bead to the clasp.

The point is fine-ground steel, tapered to a sharp tip and fixed into the handle with a polished metal ferrule so it cannot work loose mid-strand. The smooth, cylindrical rubber handle rolls comfortably between the fingers across a long stringing session. Keep the tip clean and dry and it will stay keen.

• Fine-ground steel point tapers to a sharp tip for precise knot placement.
• Smooth, cylindrical rubber handle provides a comfortable grip during extended use.
• Steel point is securely set into the handle with a polished metal ferrule.
• Allows for consistent, tight knotting right up against the bead or pearl surface.
