Axminster Workshop Right Handed Marking Knife

As with all quality marking knives, the blade has the bevel on one side only. This design allows the flat side close contact with your straight edge or square. A cut line is far more accurate than a pencil line. The great benefit, particularly when working across the grain, is the ability to register your saw or chisel in the cut. The 19mm(3/4") wide by 150mm(6") long blade has hardwood scales, through pinned with three brass rivets to form an easily gripped handle. The high carbon steel blade holds a good edge.
