This is a French awl, often used in conjunction with European stitching chisels in leathercraft. Also known as a European awl or flat awl, it is characterized by the straight holes it creates. The usage is the same as a general diamond awl. Although it's not a very well-known product, I think it's a great item to help you create beautiful works. The beautiful ebony handle is made of wood also used in high-end furniture, and it feels good in the hand and is very hard, so you can use it for a long time. I think the feel and texture are very important elements for tools that you touch often. The flat shape on both sides compared to a diamond awl makes it easy to sharpen, which is a particularly recommended point.
