Woodworking Marking Knives

A sharp marking knife creates cleaner, more precise layout lines than any pencil. The knife blade severs wood fibers rather than sitting on top of them, giving you an exact reference line that guides your saw and chisel work while preventing tear-out along the cut. 

From traditional Japanese-style marking knives to versatile utility knives, each style offers distinct advantages for different tasks. A quality marking knife fits comfortably in your hand, holds an edge through countless layouts, and helps you work with precision.
