One Tool Every Woodworker Should Own! #woodworking #tooltok #TradeShowFind #diytips

I feel like I'm going to want to start carrying around a marking knife. >> So, this is based on a very traditional Japanese folding knife called a Higon noami. And what we did was we made one with a marking knife blade in it rather than a traditional double bevel pocket knife blade. I am a firm believer of laying out with a marking knife. And I've been using marking knives forever. That's how you get your most accurate layout lines. But I fell in love with this style of pocket knife and I thought it'd be awesome to create a pocketk knife that has a marking knife in it. So, it's laminated blue paper steel, Japanese steel, so it's very tough. Hold this edge for a long time. And because it's a single bevel, you can get it right next to your square and it'll strike a nice square, straight line, >> very fine, beautiful line. And this is a marking gauge. So, if you want a continuous reference edge along something, so maybe your dovetail shoulder line or your motor shoulder line, you can use a marking gauge. And you hold it a little bit differently than a western gauge. Kind of between your fingers, >> okay? Okay. Put your thumb on the blade and it becomes very very stable and you can strike a really nice line with that as well. >> Awesome. >> Really nice hard Japanese steel. So once you get it sharp stays sharp for a very long time and it's just a really great layout tool. Anytime you need a marking gauge. >> I'm going to want to start carrying around a marking knife.
