| Sharper Then a Pencil Line |
| Reviewed By: |
Joel Mochida (Honolulu, Hawaii) |
| Better then a pencil for striking a straight line on wood. Long 6" wooden handle and blade that looks like it will hold it's sharpness for a long time. A pencil line varies in thickness but this scribe leaves a line on the wood consistently less then 1/32 of an inch. Also handy to have in the tool pouch but be careful and secure the blade to prevent an accident. |

| Needed deburring |
| Reviewed By: |
David Colby (Sarasota, Florida) |
The knife tip needed to be deburred as the metal on the tip was rough. A quick cleanup was all that was needed to fix the problem. Subsequently, I have used the knife. Nice balance and weight. The handle is chamfered so it does not roll off the bench. If you are meticulous, as I am, I recommend this knife. I am sure you will find it to be indispensable in your workshop.

We checked our stock and David is correct on 2 counts. (1) there are some very fine burrs left from the bevel grind and (2) if you are meticulous you will take the few minuets to clean them up. We tried the tool before and after the clean up. To be honest it was pretty hard to tell the difference in the line struck after the clean up. But we agree the few minutes it takes to clean up the burrs is worth it. Our clean up was simple and straight forward. We took a piece of 400 grit paper (PSA) on glass. 3 quick swipes on each bevel and 3 on the flat back and the burrs were gone.
