Japanese marking gauges use knives rather than points, and that changes everything: the knife severs fibers for a clean line even across the grain, where a pin gauge tears and wanders. The kebiki's wide stock registers solidly against your reference edge for line after identical line. Choose the single-beam gauge for one line, or the two-beam gauge that scribes both sides of a mortise or tenon at once.
