Is this the Ultimate Luxury Marking Knife - Lake Erie Toolworks

I picked up a new luxury tool. Something that'll get used on every hand tool project. And it wasn't THAT much. Initial unboxing had me excited. It's not perfect but it does offer abilities others lack. Made in the US by a great boutique tool maker.
Note: I paid full price for this. I wasn't asked to make this video. I get nothing for it's creation. No kickback if you buy one yourself. It's just a cool tool and I thought I'd share.

The daily driver marking knife has its place on the workbench because it's always being used. That making knife is something that fits naturally in the hand, registers against your palm and fingers, and just feels like an extension of your body.

[@michaelogden5958]

Instruments, not just mere tools, are wonderful things!

[@jonrost5574]

Great find. This will be on my Christmas list.

[@soofihasan]

You are one of the most genuine guys i follow and truly exceptional craftsman and teacher. I wish you all the happiness that all Ferraris and Lamborghinis put together will struggle to bring. God bless and hope i learn from you more,

_God damn it, Shawn - I'm not even half through the vid, already want a LakeErieTools marking luxury knife ever so badly_

[@bobh64]

Nice marking knife. Lake Erie tools makes some nice stuff for sure. and that checkering idea on your's looks sweet.

[@Jack-es9xq]

there's a few good woodworking ideas in this one, as always

[@roofermarc1]

That is a good idea you have of using the scribe. I like my Lake Erie knife also, I have the turtle design on mine.

[@MarklTucson]

That looks like a very cool tool. Have bookmarked Lake Erie Toolworks for future reference.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Based on your last video on this subject, I bought a thick blade Narex. I'm much happier with this design than any other marking knife.

[@MASI_forging]

This was amazing to watch. 🙂🙂

[@terryrogers1025]

Thank you, I will check him out, looks to be a quality tool. And I like your tips, I will use them as well.

[@johanneswerner1140]

9:25 did not know that... Thanks for showing! (I have missed the video where you showed that - or forgot). Congrats on the new tool! Nice things make our live more enjoyable. And I don't think it's a luxury tool if you use it for basically all joinery. Enjoy it!

[@danielpaquette1597]

Not a big project (but some fun) to get some flat stock and make a version of this that has the tweaks to the design you mention and have exactly what you want.

[@skippylippy547]

Really enjoyed this video! Loved watching your joy with this new tool.

[@SnakeAndTurtleQigong]

Thanks so much

[@jackthompson5092]

Pretty neat marking knife Shawn.

[@MrOldclunker]

Darn, that is a EXPENSIVE marking knife.

[@wortheffort]

Nice piece of steel with how many hours of labor invested.... things that look simple are often the hardest to make. How much is your time and expertise worth in what you do? I know my local mechanic charges more than this per hour.

[@Zircon10]

Nick Dombrowski is a genuinely nice guy… you’ll not find anyone providing better customer service!

[@dpmeyer4867]

cool

[@MadMulberry]

Laughed out loud when you said, repeatedly, that you would like a little more length. 😂

[@paulstuard7988]

That's what she said 😅

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

@@paulstuard7988 Funny all around.

[@fmbjmf]

Lake Erie Toolworks is going to sell a lot of these methinks. I think I'll bevel the edges of my Japanese one which is of similar design.

[@ssrattus]

Great video! When did you pass 200k subscribers?

[@dc85337]

Those marking knives you don't use - a simple fix is to attach a wood handle to them with thru pins to hold everything in place (besides epoxy). Simple fix and makes them useful (again).

[@wortheffort]

Did you hear why I thought this one was so good?

[@dc85337]

@@wortheffort Yes I did, but the comment was about the old ones you have that you aren't using and are ready to trash

[@tommanseau6277]

That looks like it was bead blasted

[@wj8108]

Love your videos but way to much for a marking knife for my blood. Keep up the good work

[@CandidZulu]

Nope, not shelling out 125 Bucks on a small piece of steel. I can file that up in an hour!

[@jamesguerrieri949]

$120 marking knife Really?????

[@wortheffort]

And how much did you spend on the last restaurant you went to with your family?

[@JohnGauntSega32]

Luthier products from StewMac are aimed at pros and people who want the best. People complain about their prices, too. Hobbyists like me don't need this level of quality, but the video showed me how bad my current marking knife is. :) Time to upgrade, if only a little.

[@gulzeb]

Did you notice how many times he said "luxury"?

[@nickpatterson2149]

​@@wortheffort Matt Estlea marking knives are 70-95£ so I would say yours you bought is about spot on for a premium marking knife. Now I could never spend that, but it's not my profession or serious hobby (yet)
