Hi all, I'm trying to buy something from Lee Valley and I need to spend another $20 for free shipping (he falls for trap). Was thinking about adding the Veritas scalpel to use as a marking knife; any thoughts here? Should be good for this, no?

Why not just get the Veritas striking knife? That's made for marking.
Personally, I'd get an aluminum and steel try square for $32.
My favorite way of getting up to the minimum for the free shipping is to look through the specials > https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/tools/special-offers
There are also specials in hardware, home, kitchen and garden.
Hopefully this doesn't get them all to be gone on my next visit.

Found the Xacto knife set works just fine.....YMMV
LOL i have the striking knife...I've seen the scalpel in a bunch of luthiery videos and I'm trying to justify it.Quote:

I, too, find the Xacto knives work well. Multipurpose handles and blades as well. No bling but highly functional.Quote:

These have been in use for well over 40 years now.
