Narex Dual Bevel Marking Knife Stainless Steel Blade Rosewood Handle Finger Indents (0.060" Thick Blade)

A marking knife is an invaluable tool that should be in the toolbox of every woodworker. A good marking knife can produce crisp and well-defined marks on wood essential when laying out precision joinery or transferring measurements. Scribe lines left by a marking knife can also locate and guide chisels and saws. This Dual Bevel Spear Point marking knife is made by Narex, a world-class edge tool manufacturer in the Czech Republic. The blade is made from AISI 420 corrosion resistant stainless steel and hardened and tempered to HRC 57. The blade is 1-7/8 inches long, 1/2 inch wide and comes in 3 thicknesses, 0.030", 0.060" or 0.100 inch thick. The blade has a dual-bevel spear point tip. The tip is ground to 55 degrees with a 25-degree grind on both bevels. The bevels are precision ground on CNC machines. The dual bevel will mark distinct lines on both the right and left side of a part or guide. It will leave crisp lines when marking with and against the grain and on end grain. The knife may require just a light stropping to remove a small wire edge to get it razor sharp and ready to use. The laser cut finger indents are useful for applying pressure closer to the tip. The blade is the perfect tool to make marks in narrow recesses such as when transferring pins/tails marks during dovetailing. The handle is 3/8-inch-thick and made from Mexican Rosewood which has been hand sanded and polished. The scales are attached to the blade via two brass pins. The handle makes the perfect size for a nimble yet stout marking knife. The square handle profile prevents the knife from rolling off the bench.
