Narex Dual Bevel Marking Knife Kit for Woodworkers

About this item

• 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. This steel is a traditional knife steel and designed to take and hold a keen edge and resist corrosion. The blade is 5-7/8 inches long, 1/2 inch wide and come 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 laser cut finger indents are useful for applying pressure closer to the tip.
• 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 knife can be used either unhandled or wood scales can be attached to create a handle. If a handle is desired the kit comes with 2 brass pins to affix scales to the blade.
