About this marking knife

The Narex Marking Knife – 37 × 15 × 3 mm is a precision layout tool designed to improve accuracy at the most critical stage of woodworking: marking. Instead of leaving a vague guideline like a pencil, this knife creates a sharp, defined line that your saw or chisel can register against with confidence.

Its compact form and finely ground blade make it especially effective for detailed joinery. Whether you’re laying out dovetails, defining mortise walls, or marking tenon shoulders, this knife delivers clarity and control where accuracy matters most.

Performance & use cases

Clean layout lines are the foundation of tight-fitting joinery. This marking knife is designed to slice cleanly through wood fibres rather than compressing them, leaving a precise reference line that improves cutting accuracy and reduces errors during assembly.

The slim blade profile allows the knife to reach into corners and narrow spaces where pencils and bulkier tools fall short. This is particularly useful for dovetail layout, small mortises, and fine cabinet work where tolerances are tight. The clearly defined line also helps prevent tear-out by guiding chisels accurately during cleanup.

In woodworking workshops across the UAE, this marking knife is commonly used for furniture making, cabinetry, box making, and detailed joinery work. Its compact size makes it easy to keep close at hand on the bench, ready for repeated use throughout a project. Whether you’re working with hardwoods or softwoods, the hardened steel edge maintains reliable performance session after session.

Because the design is ambidextrous, it integrates naturally into any workflow without adjustment. The balance and feel of the tool support consistent marking, helping ensure joints fit cleanly and assemblies come together as intended.
