I&#8217;ve had drawings for marking knives waiting in the &#8220;to do&#8221; queue for quite some time and have been content to simply use pencils for the time being.<\/p>\n<p>That changed last week when Al Navas ran a contest on his &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/sandal-woodsblog.com\/\">Sandal Woods&#8221; blog<\/a>. Al often has drawings for tools provided by his sponsors. I was very fortunate to win the marking knife as one of his Safety Week drawings. THANKS Al!<\/p>\n<p>The knife is superb. It&#8217;s edge is keen and it feels great in the hand. Not only does it work very well, it is drop-dead beautiful. Maybe because I&#8217;m partial to blonds, I find the olive wood simply gorgeous. There aren&#8217;t any dovetails in the small boats I&#8217;m building, nor are there many straight lines. Yet, there are lots of ways to use this knife.<\/p>\n<p>Not only is Bob Zajicek a very fine tool smith, he&#8217;s also a fortune teller. Along with the knife he sends not one, not two, but three plastic point guards. They are easily misplaced among the clutter of a busy project and the spares are appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I can make marks that are 6 times more accurate than I can saw. A delightful tool. Very highly recommended!
