Pfeil Marking Knives

Score Crisp, Accurate Lines with a Swiss-Made Marking Knife

When your joinery depends on a clean reference line, the Pfeil Marking Knife gives you the precision to scribe exactly where you want the cut. The blade is ground from K 720 steel and hardened to HRC 61, so it takes a keen edge and holds it through repeated scoring across hardwoods and softwoods alike. A single bevel sits flat against your rule or square, letting you register tight to the edge and mark a sharp, accurate line every time. 

The oiled bubinga handle feels warm and secure in the hand, giving you steady control for delicate scribing work. With a 45mm blade and a 150mm overall length, it sits comfortably balanced for close, careful marking. You can choose a left-hand or right-hand version, so the flat face always lands against your guide for the way you work.

Key Benefits

• K 720 Steel Blade: Hardened to HRC 61, this blade takes a keen edge and keeps it through repeated marking and scoring.
• Single Bevel Edge: Sits flat against a rule or square, so you register tight to the edge and scribe a clean, accurate line.
• Oiled Bubinga Handle: A dense, warm hardwood grip that feels secure in the hand and gives you steady control over fine cuts.
• Balanced 150mm Length: A 45mm blade on a 150mm overall length, sized for close, comfortable marking work.
• Left and Right Options: Choose the bevel orientation that suits your dominant hand, so the flat face always meets your guide.
• Swiss-Made Quality: Pfeil's trusted edge holding and finish, built for the close tolerances of fine joinery.

Choosing Your Version

The right knife comes down to which hand guides the blade, since the single bevel needs to sit flat against your rule or square: 

• Right-Hand Version: The bevel faces right, so the flat side registers against a guide held in your left hand. This suits most right-handed woodworkers.
• Left-Hand Version: The bevel faces left, keeping the flat face tight to your guide when you mark with your left hand.

Match the knife to your hand and your marking stays crisp and true on every line. Add the Pfeil Marking Knife to your kit and scribe with confidence from the first cut.
