Narex 822391 Marking Striking Knife Kit with Dual Double Bevel Mn-V Blade

This marking knife kit, crafted by the renowned Narex of the Czech Republic, offers exceptional quality and allows you to create a unique design to suit your preferences. The key components of this kit include a high-performing blade and a brass ferrule.

The blade itself is made from Mn-V steel, a material known for its exceptional durability. It has been heat-treated to a hardness of HRc 61, ensuring a long-lasting edge. The blade's dimensions are precise, measuring .125" in thickness, .580" in width, and 1.5" in length.

The design of the blade has been carefully considered to optimize performance. It features a double bevel, sharpened at a 20-degree angle, with the tip ground to a 55-degree angle. This precise sharpening ensures a clean, accurate marking line every time.

The tang, the portion of the blade that extends into the handle, is equally well-engineered. It measures 0.210" in width, 0.125" in thickness, and 1.25" in length, providing a secure and stable connection to the handle.

To ensure a perfect fit, the exact hole size for the tang will depend on the specific wood species used to create the handle. It is recommended to use epoxy to secure the tang in place, ensuring a firm and durable attachment.

Upon receipt, the marking knife will arrive super-sharp and ready for immediate use. This level of readiness is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail that has gone into the production of this tool.

The brass ferrule, which serves to reinforce the connection between the blade and the handle, has an outer diameter (OD) of 0.4675" and an inner diameter (ID) of 0.0435". This high-quality component adds to the overall durability and aesthetics of the knife.

In summary, this marking knife kit from Narex is an excellent value for a tool of such exceptional quality. With its precision-engineered blade, secure tang, and durable ferrule, it provides the perfect foundation for creating a marking knife that is truly unique to your own design and preferences. Whether you are a professional woodworker or a hobbyist, this kit offers a reliable and versatile tool that will serve you well in your projects.
