Good marking knife - Wood carving tools

Bought for woodworking. I've run through just about every other type of marking/punching knife. Who would have thought that something so simple would be so personal and so difficult to get "just right"? Well, I've finished my search. It is great. The shape of the point and the generally triangular cross-section of the blade prevent the blade from wandering and following the grain when it shouldn't. Compared to the old Stanley promoted by Paul Sellers, it's 10 times easier to write a good line here. And none of the others, like the traditional flat dagger, even come close. This is of course my personal preference. But if you can't handle most marking knives, try this one, even though it's not sold for woodworking.

Pros
  • Wood carving tools
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
