How to Use a Marking Knife Correctly

In this quick video i am going to go through the process of how to correctly use a single bevel and double bevel knife correctly, it may seem quite simple and it is.
When i first starting using a double bevel marking knife i wished i could afford a single bevel knife as i was under the impression it would make my knife marking more accurate. I learnt some years later this was not the case, it was actually the opposite for me.
So in this video i am going to show you a simple process to making the most accurate knife layout lines using a double bevel knife. I will also cover a few tips to make a single bevel arrow style marking knife more accurate too.
Hope you enjoy!!
Thanks for your support!

After trying a pocket knife, Stanley Trimmer, and a first attempt at a modified utensil, I made one that works very well from a snapped Japanese fishing knife. As you say, that sharp head is really important. Thanks for the links, those handles and blades are not expensive at all, and look the business!

Sounds like you've tried a lot of different knives. I always like to use the tools i make myself, makes me feel good

I use cheapish Narex marking knife. It is fine, until yesterday when I was making quite small box joints for my latest project. First three joints were "ok, somewhat tight". I thought that I can do better for the last corner, so I spent 10-15mins resharpening and stropping it. And it was worth it, much more precise lines and the whole joint was way tighter and cleaner looking. It's a decent knife, but somehow I dislike it, dunno why, maybe I'll try small beveled utility knife or some such. The handle on that one knife yours seem to be same that in my Narex, ALWAYS ROLLING AROUND THE TABLE AND TO THE FLOOR! :D

@@kimmosaarinen2780 it's amazing the difference being nice and sharp makes with any edged tool. I have a few marking knives but I'm not 100% happy with the ones I've got, but they work well enough to get the job done. Maybe one day ill find or make one i really like

Spear point single bevel and Japanese single bevel marking knives are my favourites. Another thing is how the handle registers in your hand. Good ones have a flat reference surface on the handle parallel to the plane of the blade.

My spear point knife was a cheapie so i guess I can't expect too much from it. I do like hearing from others to hear what they like and recommend to see is it works better for me, so thanks for sharing
