Faithfull Marking Knife, Single Bevel Diamond Blade, FSC Hardwood Handle & Brass Ferrule, Carpenters Woodworking Tool for Scoring Wood – 7 Inch

The shape of this marking knife makes it particularly useful, giving the ability to mark to either side of a guide. The detachable protective cover for the blade is a useful addition. It is good quality, solid and economical as I have come to expect from the Faithfull brand.

Firstly, the item looks nothing like the picture, the knife has rounded hardwood handle with a very attractive deep grain with a large ferrule to hold the blade, which is diamond-shaped ( or more accurately rhombus-shaped ) with a major axis of 40mm, which gives two marking edges of just over 15mm that come to a robust sharp point, a point which is excellent for making small marking points, which is a big improvement on my previous various half-measures. The blade body has a very reassuring and robust thickness of 3.4mm, it is very very flat on one side and the two sharp marking edges are created by large bevels of the blade.The whole thing feels light to hold and looks sculptured and elegant and is a pleasure to look at.A very very nice tool that is beautifully proportioned and functional, and only £6 or so, so top marks for value for money too.Edit: since writing the review the picture seems to have been updated and now reflects reality.

The quality of the blade is decent, not very sharp out of the box but it does the job just fine.The blade is not glued in to the handle and it has fallen apart on me after first use. Not a major issue, glued it in and it’s perfect. Also the finish on the handle is not great but it doesn’t affect the functionality of the knife.

THE FLAT SIDE ASSESSED IN MARKING WHERE NEEDED.

We’ll made, easy to use and great value!

Nice and sharp, but blade not centred. Still useable.

I am a hobby woodworker and luthier so marking knives are an absolute necessity (pencils can only help so much before you need more accuracy and a groove to align to).I had another one of these marking knives previously but I left it in the care of my apprentice luthier and he managed to get it covered in glue and resin. As it was not possible to clean the marking knife I had no hesitations to replace it with another of the exact model.I definitely recommend this marking knife.

Great tool works really well and well made
