Hello everyone. Are you staying warm and safe? I pray so.Some of you may remember when I made this quick and dirty marking knife;
Well, it worked for a time and then it didn't. I found that it was not as safe to use as I had hoped. So, I had to come up with something different.The idea for the marking knife you see in the photos came to me out of the blue.You see, when I'm in the middle of a project and something I'm doing, or a tool that I'm using, isn't working, I need a quick effective solution. I don't care if it looks good, I just need it to work.I sat down and started thinking about how to make another quick and dirty marking knife.Let me back up a bit. A friend of mine gave me some marking knife blades a while back when I told him about the one I originally made. Because the tang on the blades was tapered I set them aside so that I could figure out how I was going the mount them into a handle.While at my desk I happened to notice a pen sitting there and then it hit me. The marking knife you see is the outcome.You can see how I made it here.Thanks for your time. May it be well with you all.
