View Full Version : My knock-off of Harry Strasil`s marking knife

A while back Mr. Strasil posted a picture of a double sided marking knife and I really liked the design. I found an old scraper putty knife and cut the blade with a cut off wheel in a Dremel tool. Flattening the back was the most work. Then I filed the cutting edge and just sharpened and honed the first inch or so on each side. Not very pretty but functional. I had this scraper to fool with but if you wanted to make one you can find one with a nice wood handle and maybe an even stiffer blade.

LOL, Good Show, I wasn't smart enough to use a putty knife. (Duh)

Thanks Harry. I was going to find a piece of steel and give it a try, but I was in the toolbox looking for something else and I saw the scraper.Glad you like it. Thanks, Walt
