Piercing implement (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

awl

(Other definitions for awl that I've seen before include "Sharp point" , "Pointed hand-tool" , "Using sharp tool" , "Pointed tool for making small holes" , "Cobbler's tool" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and the Penny Press.
