Customer Reviews

For over thirty years one of my most trusted dovetail tools has been my marking knife. Working with renowned blade manufacturer IBC, we have created the best knife for transferring tails to your pin board.  I think you will find this knife to be your missing link for laying out and cutting dovetail pins.

  • The knife body is made of metal and is surprisingly hefty

  • Two piece body with space to store a spare blade.

  • The rectangular handle will register in your hand to help you “feel” the blade's position.

  • Comes with straight blade ONLY.

  • Click HERE to go to the marking knife with a sawtooth blade page.

  • Replacement blades available HERE.

Marking Knife Blade:

  • Specifically designed for transferring tails to the pin-board using the traditional marking method.

  • Wide at the tip for better registration against the tail.

  • Radius tip “track’s” in the end grain, helping to prevent the knife from straying off course as you mark your lines.

  • Micro-bevel on both sides prevents cutting into the tail and creates a mark that is easy to see.

    Dovetail marking Knife

    I haven’t had the chance to put the knife to full use yet.

    Marking knife

    It works as advertised; however, it is heavy and not balanced making it uncomfortable to hold. I recommend adding some sort of blade cover. I nicked my finger reaching into my apron pocket to grasp it.

    Great marking knife

    Knife is rugged, I bought the .024 blade also for dovetails.

    Marking Knife

    The knife has good heft and feel to it, but I just received it and haven't used the marking knife as it is intended to be used. I expect it to perform well.

    Great weight and length

    The marking knife has a nice balance between being heavy and relatively long in length. Provides a nice sense of control. And the shipping packaging is awesome, no earthly way it will be damaged in shipping.
