Marking Knives

Build Process description available here

These are a set of marking knives I made, based on Matt Estlea's design. Matt uses Swann Morton scalpel blades, I used the ones for the Stanley Folding Pocket Knife as I've got loads of those blades.

The blade holders are brass with stainless steel grub screws; the handles are English Walnut (two of them) and Zebrano (the other one).

There's a description of the process I went through to make them and some more photos in the build log.

I am a hobbyist metalworker and woodworker. I work as an electronic design engineer and spend most of my working days in front of a computer so I enjoy having the opportunity to use my hands and make things in my spare time. I particularly enjoy making tools as I can then use them on other projects. This website showcases some of the things I've made.
