The 3/8 inch bodkin is very similar to the 1/2 inch one except that the spike is 3/8 inch in diameter.
All of my Bodkins are made from Stainless Steel so they will last a lifetime and will stay looking as they did when you received it. I could make them of low carbon steel but it would darken and rust with use. The handles are made of hard wood selected to hold up to years of use.
My Bodkins are made with a full tang, which means that the spike or blade goes all the way through the handle, In doing this I ensure that if a user hits the end of the bodkin with a rapping iron that the handle will not split as the rapping iron hits the spike and not just the handle. It takes more steel but I believe that this makes a better tool. You can see this in the pictures I have with the bodkins.
