For over thirty years one of my most trusted dovetail tools has been my old red marking knife.  Taking the best of my old marking knife and adding some improvements, 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 transferring your tails to the pin board and cutting perfectly mating pins.

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

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

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

  • Comes with our Making Knife Blade and my Regular Saw Tooth Blade.

  • .Replacement blades available.

Straight Marking Knife Blade:

  • This straight blade is designed for tracing tails onto the pin-board using traditional marking techniques.

  • Radius tip “track’s” in the end grain.

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

Regular Saw-Tooth Blade:

  • Designed specifically for use with my dovetail transfer technique.

  • Made of the same blade material as my regular Dovetail Saw, .024 inch thick kerf.

  • Regular Saw Tooth Blade has 22 TPI so it fits into the kerf easily.
  • Allows you to "saw" a starting kerf in the pin-board.

    Disappointing

    Obvious quality made marking knife. Looks great and feels amazing in the hand. It's just disappointing that due to a hand issue, I am unable to use the tool at present.

    The saw kerf blade is where it is at

    I have many marking knives, and I will continue to use these... but I got this one mainly for the saw kerf blade to compliment my RC Dovetail saw and other dove tail accessories such as the Shawn Shim. What a difference to the dove tailing experience. I am now flying through the process and the results are sublime every time. It is a hefty tool and well made tool that will last forever. Highly recommended!

    Dovetail saw

    What an amazing tool. This tool, in addition to Shaun’s Shim, makes cutting dovetail joints so much easier and way more accurate.

    I’m just a hobbyist woodworker, so I’m not cutting dovetails every day, but when I do, it’s very nerve wracking and I’m never fully satisfied with the end result. After seeing Rob demonstrate the use of these tools, the stress level has gone down and my dovetail joints are an order of magnitude greater.
