Like pencils, there never seems to be a striking knife at hand when you
need it. We've produced this high-quality, well-priced knife so you can
affordably leave several around your shop.
The knife has an A2 tool-steel blade with a 55° included angle at
the tip. Ground to a keen edge at a 25° bevel angle, it slices wood
fibers cleanly. It leaves an incised marking line that serves to guide
a saw or chisel when starting a cut, helping to improve accuracy.
 At
less than 1/32" thick and 5/16" wide, the blade projects about
1-1/2" from the handle, making it particularly useful for the precise
transfer work required for dovetail layouts. The dual bevel makes it equally
comfortable for right- or left-hand use, or marking either side of a reference
surface.
The nylon-reinforced ABS handle is contoured for a comfortable, controlled
grip, with flats on the sides to provide tactile cues for blade orientation
and finger placement. They also prevent the knife from rolling on a surface.
Supplied with a guard to protect the tip in storage. 6-5/8" long
overall.
Made in Canada. Excellent value in what should be a shop staple.
