Clarke BrothersMarking Knife and Real Leather sheath – Wood Marking Gauge – Premium Woodworking Tool with High Carbon Steel Blade – Quality with Sharp Blade – Beautiful Wooden Handle

This marking knife is not only aesthetically pleasing but solidly built. It retains an edge well (did not dull the few times I accidently cut into aluminum from the square I was using to guide the knife). It cleanly severs hard maple wood fibers with ease. The included leather sheathe is perfect, it fits well, stays on securely (to the point that I routinely put it on my pocket with no worries) and protects the blade and user from accidental cuts.Overall a fantastic product that I would have gladly paid twice the price for.

Super good marking knife. It comes with a good finish on the blade and sharp. The blade polishes well and draws a repeatable fine line. I have 4...this is the one I use.

Solid build, flat on one side, and beveled edges on the other. The hefty diameter makes it easy to get the tilt angle correct.

Quality built marking knife. It is a good size and the leather blade cover is a nice touch. Great for marking against a straight edge due the blade being flat on one side and beveled on the other. Although it did not need sharpening when it arrived, after a couple days of use, I got curious and gave it a couple of passes on the diamond stone on the beveled edge and honed the burr on the flat edge, and this thing is ridiculously sharp in literally 10 seconds.I'm impressed and would recommend. Also check out their marking gauges, I got the single blade gauge the same day as the knife and it is also a good quality product.

I've been really happy with this marking knife. The blade is excellent quality steel that has held its edge under relentless use and even a tiny bit of abuse. Definitely worth picking one up. The only downside to the product is that the stitching on the leather sheath came apart after a few days of use. Not sure if this is because the blade cut the thread or if the stitching was defective from manufacturing. Not a deal breaker by any means as my KM Tools woodworking apron has a leather sheath for a marquee knife anyway.

The blade is very sharp straight out of the package, no sharpening needed. The handle may be a little large for anyone with small hands but should be adequate for most users. The inclusion of the leather sheath is an added bonus and also extremely well made. You may need to clean the blade before first use and you will want to make sure you stop the blade periodically, and give it a good wipe down with some mineral oil. You've taken care of this should last at least a lifetime.

Excellent product; great addition to my “detail tools”for fine woodworking projects.

Got to say, this is a great tool. I was impressed with the packaging, well done. You know what old woodworkers say — no hand tool is ready right out of the box. Nice leather safety cap is well made, but kind of dry. I took it off started to condition it. The knife rolled of the table and stuck 1/2 ways through my foot. Just kidding, but it stuck in the rug. I went out to the shop & filed some flat spots in the handle. I noticed the wood was beautiful. I rubbed in a blend of walnut oil and beeswax, wow. Sometimes soon I’m going to sand the whole handle and finish it. If they’re buying good they ought to rub oil finish instead of thick lacquer— faster cheaper and you don’t have to let dry. Like Mr. Meauge. Wax on - Wax off.
