Your hand-cut joinery will take a huge leap forward when you stop marking with a pencil and start marking with a true marking knife. Precision layout is the foundation of fine joinery, and the Blue Spruce Classic Marking Knife was designed to help woodworkers maximize their confidence and craftsmanship in the most crucial stage of their work. With a tool-less collet system, the knife’s comfortable contoured handle holds the blade firmly, so if you’re in the middle of a project and need a fresh edge, you can quickly change blades and do all your sharpening later. And now for a very limited time, we’re thrilled to offer our Classic Marking Knife with a special, Resin-Infused and red-dyed Maple handle.
What’s wrong with a fine pencil line? Why should you mark with a knife at all? For starters, even a fine-point mechanical pencil is 5-10 times wider than a knife line. A pencil line gives you nothing but a target. A marking knife gives you a physical impression in the wood which guides your saw or chisel as you begin your cut. Your tool won’t skate and slide, it will register firmly in the kerf and follow it.
For this Limited-Edition Classic Marking Knife, the handle has been permanently dyed through the surface of the resin-infused maple with a stunning red color. Included with the knife are two .032” single bevel blades in both left-hand and right-hand skews along with a collet and stainless-steel ferrule. We're offering this one-of-a-kind marking knife only for a limited time, and only a small quantity will be going into production. They'll be going fast, so don't wait—order yours today!
