I'd like a scratch awl that has a handle that screws on. That way I
can chuck the steel in a drill to sharpen it. Anyone know of one made
like this?

Don't know of one offhand that screws on, but Starret, General,
and others make several versions that use a collet to hold the
scriber in the handle, like an oversized pin vize. If you can't
find it quickly with a web search, try looking for "scriber" instead
of "awl"

I am one of those, "if you like one, make one" sort of people. Why not make
a scratch awl using a masonry nail for hardness and put it in a removable
handle? I made a carving set for my daughter who travels (she is in Thailand
now until March) and it has interchangable blades. The instructions are over
at http://aroundthewoods.com/carver.shtml . Have fun. Actually a scratch awl
would be handy. Maybe I will make one. Watch the site :-)
