Dual Double Bevel Striking Marking Knife with Blade from Hardened Mn-V Steel Heat Treated to HRc 61 822301 (One Pack)

Bought this for laying out box & dovetails and a few other jobs. I use a lot of other Narex tools, specifically chisels and rasps in building all my longbows and have always been impressed by the quality of their tools so is was a an easy choice buying one of their marking knives instead of some other brand. Sharp, good size, comfortable when you're going to be using it often and the double bevel allows for easy use right handed or left. Its single edge allows for more accurate marking than a double edge/grind knife imho. I'd recommend and would buy again. It came on time, in good order, as described and well packed.

Good for marking and knifing quite sharply. Nice I made some mediocre dovetails, that was my fault not the knife

The marking knife feels great in your hand and has a great weight to it. I was able to make sharp crisp lines right out of the box. The only qualm is the metal is a bit soft. I dropped the knife and the tip was folded over from the impact. Due to how it was made it seems to always fall tip down. I would love to see them change the weights so the handle falls first or harden the tip. Due to the material it does sharpen pretty easily. I was able to use some grinding stones to get my beautiful marking tip back.

This marking knife works great. I see two complaints: "it rolls off the bench", and "I wish it came with a leather pouch". I use a marking knife for almost everything. I have a leather pouch to hold a marking knife in my woodworking apron. This makes both stated issues are irrelevant to me. This is great for marking pins in narrower stock, say ½" thick. When the stock is thicker, say ¾" the blade is a bit short. But no problem, Narex markes a marking knife with a 1.5" blade. I bought it, and it works perfectly

Narex is known for providing chisels that are very well made at an entry level price. This marking knife follows in the vain. It is sharp enough out of the box to use immediately and when it comes time to finally hone the edges, it sharpens quite easily. You'll also fine it holds it's edge pretty well considering what you're doing with through the course of a woodworking day .

Very sharp out of the box and has held its edge impressively well, as you would expect from Narex. The handle is very comfortable, and I appreciate the double bevel making this easy to use left or right handed.

I have two Narex marking knives, one with flat sides and this one with a round barrel. Both have the same steel blade, and I like both, however the version with flat sides is absolutely my favorite, and this one is traditional woodworker looking, but uncomfortable to hold and prone to damage by rolling off the bench. This design rolls more easily than any other woodworking tool I own, and it likes to roll far when it rolls, typically off the bench. The metal blade and wide barrel near the blade means that it’s weight when falling drops it blade-down every time. That means the tip of the blade hits the concrete floor first and you get blade damage that’s hard to repair. I consider this a latent design defect. The barrel should have flats on at least two sides to keep it from rolling. I sanded flats on two sides of mine and stopped the problem, however from the position of comfort and usability, the Narex version of this knife with flat sides is superior (though less traditional looking) so I recommend that one in preference to this version.

I always thought, that Narex is kinda euro signature of quality product. I was wrong. $36 and blade cover made out of store paper?!! For that amount you could achieve something better than that.

Excellente pointe à tracer, 5 étoiles, car un peu trop chère.

Ottimo prodotto, nulla da dire

Quality bit of kit

La réception ne pose aucun problème, rien a dire sur l'emballage (cf. photo 1). Par contre, TRES GROS PROBLEME pour un "Couteau de marquage", à voire sur la photo 2, POINTE COMPLETEMENT ABIMEE !!! Donc pour la précision, on retourne avec un bon vieux crayon à bois. Pas du tout contant pour ce produit au prix affiché puisqu'inutilisable.

If you want tight joints and accurate cuts, abandon pencils and other ink markers. To cut wood accurately, down to the millimeter, you need a marking knife. Buying this has transformed my cuts, joints and general accuracy; I didn't realise how bad a pencil is until I bought this. I've had cause to put and edge back onto this having dropped it onto my concrete floor, but doing so was easy with a flat stone. This knife is razor sharp when new and sits comfortably in the hand; I'll never be without one again.
