Woodworking Marking Knives and Replacement Blades for Hand-Cut Joinery and Reference-Guided Layout

Woodworking marking knives and replacement blades help lay out hand-cut joinery with an incised line that guides a saw or chisel. Choose a complete handled knife or a separate replacement blade to suit the tool you need.

The complete knives feature a contoured 5-inch handle in resin-infused curly maple or Bolivian rosewood, finished with a polished stainless-steel ferrule. Their standard .032-inch blade is secured by a tool-less collet, allowing you to change blades during a project and sharpen later.

The spearpoint design lets you place the blade's flat side against a square or straightedge with the reference on either side. The complete knife handle also accepts the Blue Spruce Toolworks Marking System range of blades and collets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every selection include a marking knife handle?

No. The curly maple and Bolivian rosewood selections are complete marking knives. The spearpoint replacement blade and right- and left-hand blade pair are separate blade selections.

How does a marking knife help with hand-cut joinery?

A marking knife cuts a physical line in the wood that guides your saw or chisel, giving you an incised reference to follow instead of a pencil mark.

Can the spearpoint blade follow a square on either side?

Yes. Flip the spearpoint marking knife to keep its flat side against the square or straightedge with the reference on the right or left.

Can I change the complete knife's blade during a project?

Yes. The complete marking knife uses a tool-less collet to secure its blade, so you can change blades during a project and sharpen later.

Which blades and collets fit the complete knife handle?

The complete marking knife handle accepts the Blue Spruce Toolworks Marking System range of blades and collets, in addition to its standard .032-inch blade and collet.
