Striking Knife: When we started our quest to find a new supplier of carving knives we were not aware that we would be so lucky in finding a specialist able to offer such a wide range of
products to our specification. One of the spin-offs from that search is this excellent striking knife which is the ideal "universal" marking knife, being usable left- or right-handed, striking forwards or
backwards. The robust 40 mm blade has two cutting edges, as illustrated, ground from one side only so that the knife can be run up against a square or straight edge without causing damage. With an overall
length of 172 mm and supplied with a blade guard, this is an ideal tool for every fine woodworker's toolbox. |

Scratch Awls:. For use in marking out and pricking through, a scratch awl is a very useful tool. Equipped with a 5 inch (125mm) round blade, or spike, these awls are supplied
with choice of beech or rosewood handle. Our own version, the 0812-P is a somewhat larger and more robust version with a larger diameter awl and rosewood handle, especially useful on larger tasks such as timber
framing projects. |

Spirit Levels:
These levels are produced in the traditional "boat" or "torpedo" style from solid rosewood with brass facings top and bottom. The
larger (9") model features both horizontal and vertical bubbles whilst the miniature version (4") holds a horizontal bubble only. |

Marking Knife:
the traditional marking tool used by joiners and cabinet-makers when needing to mark across the grain. This nicely-produced version has a carbon steel blade and rosewood handle "scales". Produced in
right- and left- handed versions.
or checking and setting out levels on larger jobs such as door-hanging, brickwork this
aluminium cased spirit level is right at home. This type also finds favour when setting out timber frames for scribing where small natural deviations occur readily over the timber and need to be
averaged out over its length.
