It is used to mark the holes on the leather where the awl will go through later. The distance between the teeth varies according to the desired distance between the stitches.

The wire saw is a thin (1 mm), relatively short (approx. 50 cm) steel wire with sharp grooves and a ring at both ends. With this saw, which is easy to carry in a pocket, thin branches can be cut. If you want to cut high branches, attach a rope to each ring. The saw can then be thrown around a branch. The ropes are pulled with one or two people. See also manual chainsaw. [MOT]
