Marking Knives
Czeck Edge marking knives feature stout, yet comfortable handles than fit the hand very well for demanding layout work. They are turned from exotic hardwoods selected for beauty and durability. Sanded thru 600 grit they have an easily restorable shellac based finish.
The blades are O-1 tool steel. They are cut using state-of-the-art CNC machinery. Each blade is professionally heat treated in an aircraft certified facility to RC 59 - 60. They are then bead blasted, precision ground and satin polished. The sword point style is 1/8" thick, 1/2" wide by 2" long with a 65 degree included angle forming the point. The dual edge bevels are ground to 35 degrees on the top of the blade only. The back of the blade is flat permitting the point to register snugly against a straightedge from either the left or right side.
This knife is hefty enough to create deep, wide lines for positive chisel or hand saw registration. Each blade is hand stropped to ensure a keen edge. The Fatboy II has a long reach and is useful for accurately marking into tighter areas.
