Narex Marking Knife

Excellent marking knife

Quality bit of kit

Good product

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.

It's kinda pricey for what it is but it does it well. Especially if you're pernickety, having that score right on the edge of the straight edge is oddly satisfying. I use it a lot more than a pencil these day, if you're using a hand saw the score is helpful as a guide. I would probably make one before buying another after watching some youtube vidyas, but if you just want a good marking tool this is the game. Seems of decent hardened steel and retained its edge after hitting a nail, which I would expect from narex. It doesn't ooze quality with the finish would be my only gripe

It is a nice product but the tip on mine started to chip off after a few uses.

Note - this is really really sharp. It fell out of the box when I opened it and hit my hand making it bleed. As for use, it’s perfect. Great bevel on two sides.

Ready to use straight out of the box, well packaged and comfortable in the hand

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

Ottimo prodotto, nulla da dire

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.

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

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.
