Designing a unique looking marking knife that's comfortable and works well was quite a challenge. I think I did it, and it was much easier to make the knife, then to design it. I wasn't confident that it would work out, so that's why I made a test one first. I reckon this knife making project turned out pretty cool though, and I was excited to make another.
I also thought it would be great to have a scratch awl and a marking knife all in one tool. I have a metal scriber that is two ended and I like that so that's why I went ahead with that idea.
I've decided to give the new marking knife to one of my supporters on Patreon as I don't need two marking knives and it's a chance to say thank you for their amazing support!

I had to rewatch this because I just received my Pask Makes marking knife and it’s glorious! If you’re on the fence don’t be, I can’t describe how beautiful yet well made and freakin sharp his marking knife is! Thank you Pask, it’s beautiful and high quality and something I’ll cherish forever! I love that we can support you and your work as your contribution to the woodworking, welding and forging communities is tremendous and can’t be understated! I look forward to using this exquisite jewel in my garage and thank you for the plans that came with your marking knife! I will absolutely be building from your plans and with the help of my Pask Makes marking knife 🤘🏼

[@dougpisik]

I just purchased one of these that you began to sell. It's OUTSTANDING.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much and thanks for the support! :)

[@klj43va]

Pask that's awesome. Only advice I have is use contact adhesive instead of epoxy. Any epoxy or super glue can destroy the leather due to the exothermic reaction caused by the curing where as contact adhesive theres none and will stick solid. I'm a leather worker btw lol

[@JoaquimParis]

nice belt sander !!!

[@deankay4434]

They say that necessity is the mother of all invention. In wood working you need a good marking knife. But, when craftsmanship creates function and beauty, then it is artisan. Great job of both!

[@donrad]

There is an advantage to leaving one side completely flat (no leather) for woodworking marking where the craftsman needs to run the knife along the flat side of a thick board to mark another board beneath. A more accurate mark is made as opposed to coming in at an angle.

[@Yuzuki1337]

I reckon one flat side also makes it easier to use it as a prying tool, if ever needed :)

[@keirfarnum6811]

That’s how I make my marking knives; wood on just one side so the flat back can register to whatever it’s being pressed against. Works out well.

[@Yuzuki1337]

@_ David _ no wai >:(

[@Yuzuki1337]

@_ David _ I feel you, I wouldn't wanna destroy my tools either but in a pinch you gotta do what you gotta do. 😅

[@thomasburnett4712]

You are an amazing craftsman and you’re always a pleasure to watch when you create something beautiful!

[@JPWack]

So minimalist and beautiful, it's like from another planet. PS: obligatory "now that's a knife"

[@flyingwondercat739]

Pask! Glad to see you're uploading more frequently :) I watch every video!

[@DanielWahlig]

Beautiful work - I think this should be your version of the Diresta ice pick! I want one.

[@_bodgie]

I was thinking the same thing as I was watching.

[@CROWLEY2478]

We need this mass produced. Beautiful

[@owainrichards4372]

Daniel Wahlig hopefully not as over priced

[@jimw544]

I want one too.

[@mdmx92]

Love the design man. Simple, functional and looks good

[@PJCCC100]

Very beautiful piece you made. Thanks for sharing.

[@ZXLMaster]

I have a Japanese marking knife. It is not to be careless around. The sharpneaa profile is similar to yours. It is sharpened on diamond and finished on leather.

[@kmac_99]

Beautifully done. Every time I watch one of your videos I think to myself this man is a genius

[@declankelly9579]

Beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Love the shape and so simple to make. Love the videos, thank you

[@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555]

Sweet set of skills you got there. Always a treat to watch your vids.

[@AmuroRae]

Made my own twist on one of these using this video as a tutorial for my father in law for Christmas. He loved it! Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@markvandernulft8073]

Pask, YOU MAKE!! Beautiful!!

[@jmtx.]

[@SparrowStockwell]

That’s a nice tool. 💡

[@andimayermayer]

[@alanmuddypaws3865]

Lovely little marking knife! Your projects just keep getting better and better.

[@stevenA44]

Nice looking knife. I do leather working and that handle is a nice touch.

[@ADVBear]

Simple, elegant and effective. Neil's trademark. Hand tools are cool.

[@adg1017]

Gorgeous tool!

Your projects are always absolutely stunning. Hats off to you sir.

Great design! Love your sander.

Great piece of kit.

[@craigmonteforte1478]

another fantastic video and build ! Once again you proved what a versatile Craftsman you are !

[@scottlouis7785]

It`s a pleasure watching you do that

[@billiondollardan]

What kind of work did you do in your regular world life before KZbin? Whatever it was I am betting you were/are good at it. You exhibit a high level of conscientiousness which I believe contributes to the high quality of every endeavor I see on this channel

[@RedBairnMedia]

Almost certain he is/was a professional framer for photos/art and all round good guy.

[@dominiquec6676]

Hello from France ! Very beautiful tool. Thank you for this idea

[@marcusretaken72]

Can't wait to give this one a go. I think I found what I will be making a few folks for Christmas this year!

[@jerrystark3587]

A very cool, very useful marking knife. Thanks!

[@keirfarnum6811]

You have some really innovative techniques. Thanks for the info!

[@forithan]

I'd buy one of those in a heartbeat!

[@christopheleblanc9175]

Stunning result I like very much the shape!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome work Neil! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@gerardhoffenkamp252]

beautiful! nice speed! no time wasted

[@DevinTrierMaker]

Really nice work - I'm going to think about using that old table saw blade I have for making one just like this. Really appreciate your commentary and craftsmanship!

[@Painterdudeus]

It really is quite impressive how smart you are with tooling. Good Aye.

[@Robert-xp4ii]

I really like that and will have to try making one for myself. Great job!

[@bjorncj]

Nice one. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@darrylbrook5968]

great job Neil

[@LastLeafStudioVideo]

Great video. I am working on a leather project now and the burnishing technique is definitely going to be helpful.

[@FranksDIY]

Love it . Great job

[@MarrockV]

I recently got my knife, I love it, very well made and very useful.

[@arturkubok8744]

It looks so good with that leather, I thought it was wood. Great job Neil. That's very inspirational cause now I want to take my chance in making one of this for me. Regards!

[@j.hankinson7803]

Great project. Thanks for posting it.

[@iancraigen]

Definitely needs to be in your shop

[@davestinyworkshop]

It's a beautiful tool, well done

[@schonnj]

Marvelous work!

[@baska1712]

Ideal project for lazy afternoons. Nice, easy and very useful 👍🏻

[@Advoko]

Great looking marking knife!

[@SILVER-en3hy]

Привет братишка

[@keirfarnum6811]

Cool design!

[@mikepeacock8385]

It is the accuracy of your work that never fails to astound me. The slightest difference in the grinding of the two bevels or curves, of even a tiny fraction of a mm, would stand out a mile yet it is perfect. You make it seem so easy when it really is not. Total respect!

[@edualbergaria10]

I loved the design.

[@shackman9566]

Thank you again very nice design.

[@cspann831]

It is a beautiful artifact. I'm also glad to see that I don't require a marking knife to make a marking knife.

[@kreamailcom2146]

Very nice job ! 😀

[@JunkWorkshop]

Beautifull design!

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Very Cool !!!!! Looks like a Ninja throwing spike.

[@Ebikelover]

Another Amazing project Mate, looks great and such a sweet looking belt sander.

[@TheFishstick9983]

Looks great. I like the leather grip

[@ArkitEk2265]

Wow! Great work man!

[@opwards]

Dude. So clever. Ive never thought of using my 123 blocks as a grinding jig for my knives. Im so trying it soon. Thank you

[@wartlme]

Was going to buy a 20 dollar marking knife. Didn't really like any designs. Decided to make my own. I have O1 steel ready for this. Woodworking and knife making is what I like to do. Your knife is cool.

[@DugMcClure]

Work of art, Neil!

[@danojames8329]

Awesome n sweet work

[@CopeauxAndCo]

Love it! Congrats!

[@alexsmith3368]

That's a really neat design, like it!!

[@davidharvey5672]

Nice design thanks

[@greatitbroke]

Wow beautiful mate!

[@nscr2]

Pre order for sure. Looks great

[@TheIdeasGuy]

Beautiful work mate, as always! This one is definitely going onto my list of future projects :)

[@vivhope1788]

The Ideas Guy 8ll

[@maximus518774]

I made one. If you make one you’ll be using it constantly. My favorite use is scraping corners of woodwork when restoring and painting. Worth its weight in gold. It came out great too.

[@handmadeisbetter]

I like the form very much!

[@ConiferProject]

It locks like an arrow head :D very cool marking knive and an unusual shape 👍

[@StanCrafted]

Nice video, Neil. I made a marking knife a couple of months ago...handy tool indeed. Glad the leather is only thing that got banged up when the mop caught it!

[@michaelbaykara2322]

Love it Paskie

[@jameshowlet5597]

Very, VERY nice as always!!!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Nice Work!... Beautiful

[@zingzong1234]

Great work

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Very cool “original” design achieved! I love it!

[@Zak-ob5ze]

What do you mean by "original"
