Marking Knives

One of the random tools we need is a marking knife.  It is a 6" piece of steel that is flat on one side with two bevels on the other that form a point.  You use it to score a line when you need to be super accurate and a pencil line is too thick.  I went down to the gallery (which is where they sell tools at the school) to buy one.  They wanted $39!  That is absurd.  So I called my dad to see what scrap steel he had around the shop.  He sent me 6 pieces that were perfect.  I ground bevels on them and bam! free marking knives.  I kept one for myself and gave away the others to 5 lucky people from my program.
