The sanding block is a delight and will be used for my woodwork projects as much as leather.
The awl is superb and needed no sharpening or polishing. I ordered the 1.7mm French style as they were out of stock of the 2.3mm diamond. The 1.7 is great for fine work but I will order the 2.3 diamond when I can and it is what I would recommend to most. The brass ferrule is lovely but I have added a leather washer as a cushion in case I push too hard and mark the work.
The plane I already had and is not by BML but they do have similar ones.
Suffice to say BML are highly recommended.
