Review: Anc - Beautifully hand crafted very quick delivery thank you
Review: delicate right handed marking knife. - by delicate I dont mean to imply that it will not work or last, more that it is like a scalpel. It is for right handed use, with the square reference edge on the left for running against a rule or square. The whole knife is very light and thin compared with marking knives that I am used to with wooden handles. The blade is about a millimetre thick. The blade is wrapped in a thin (<0.5mm ?) sheet of brass, which is peened onto the blade to grip it (the strange dent in the folded brass edge). The bottom edge of the brass wrap is just folded up, and the ends of the wrap pressed flat. The pictures are very clear and accurate, but it is easy to deceive yourself into thinking that this is much bigger than it is. The whole assembly including folds is only about 2mm thick. It is good that the blade has a cover, as it is razor sharp, and you wouldnt want to leave it in a draw unguarded. I suspect this will sponsor accuracy for some time, but it is a fingertip tool more than a hand tool. A chunky version might suit me better.
