The unique handle shape on this marking knife lets you use it comfortably with a pencil grip when fine control is needed, or a pistol grip that allows greater force to be applied for a more visible line. The removable blade design lets you flip the blade for right-hand or left-hand use, or for flush registration on either side of a reference surface. The blade, made of PM-V11 tool steel, is 3/32 thick and about 3/8 wide with a 55° spear-point tip.

An Intro to Marking Knives: Part Two

Like pencils, there never seems to be a striking knife at hand when you need it. The knife has an A2 tool-steel blade with a 55° included angle at the tip. Ground to a keen edge at a 25° bevel angle, it slices wood fibers cleanly. It leaves an incised marking line that serves to guide a saw or chisel when starting a cut, helping to improve accuracy.
