Rockler Spear-Point Marking Knife with Sheath

No marking method makes quite so fine a line as a good, sharp marking knife. Ours features a flat-back, spear-point design that lets you mark from either side, and use it with either hand. The flat back is also hollow-ground for easy sharpening, and the long shank allows deep reach for dovetailing thick materials. The knife comes with a handy sheath that has an integrated diamond hone and a leather strop. This lets you keep the knife razor sharp without having to interrupt your workflow. An integrated rare-earth magnet pulls the knife firmly into the sheath and prevents it from accidentally slipping out.
