  1. Marking Tools

    This was my gift for the Summer 2016 swap. A marking knife from O1 steel, heat-treated in the shop. I also made the brass ferrule. Handle is African Blackwood, and shaped very thin. The Black Walnut pencil holder was very simple, but I hope it can be used anywhere; shop or office or kitchen...
