Marking Steel Kit with a single bevel side handle.

N.B. We get the 075 steel from Hock Tools which has been sold to Lee Valley, we are waiting for stock. We have no ETA yet.

Kit includes a single-sided spear point 075 steel, with a bevel side handle in Wenge with brass pins, and assembly instructions.

Sometimes getting a knife mark as a measure requires a single-sided bevel blade, mostly a chisel or plane blade can serve but occasionally i.e. when marking the inside measure of trims, skirting, and moulding around cabinets or boxes, a spear point marking steel is preferable, the problem is hanging on to a relatively thin blade.

So, we have added a handle to the bevel side of the steel, allowing added purchase and heft to the tool, giving accurate, mistake-free marking.

The blade is a Hock Tool spear point, 178mm Long, 19 mm Wide (max), and 2.4mm Thick. 

Total weight 76 grams

Other advantages are

• at 2.4 mm thick it can still get pretty much anywhere into narrow spaces.
• it is very light
• can be comfortably held in a "pencil grip"
• the bevels are wide and don’t require a secondary bevel, so they can easily be resharpened
• it will not flex, so it won’t stray from the line needed to be marked.
• the spear point allows marking directionally left or right-handed.
• it is not expensive
• Useful for removing glue from inside corners or glued joints in panels where a plane can sometimes grab the glue in a misaligned joint and cause tear out.
• Can be used to score dowels, dovetails, and pins projecting from a surface to prevent short grain breaks or tearing.
