This premium quality, wooden handled knotting tool allows you to create tight, consistent, professional looking knots between beads and pearls with speed and precision. The smoother operating metal yoke and fixed position awl are there to protect bead cords. Comes with a fully illustrated, easy to follow instruction book inside an anti-theft, retail-ready package. The wooden handled Beadalon Knotter Tool is superior to the similarly priced, but cheaply made Chinese knockoffs with plastic handles and sharp metal parts that frequently cut bead cords.
