inexpensive lefthand/righthand, detail/marking knives

Post by Bob Hammond »

Hello,

This is just a handy little thing.

I needed a sharp knife that could get into corners, and the storebought 9mm snap-off knife wasn't quite right for the job. These Scotch brand Ti-Ni blades are sharp & durable, and when they're taped to either side of a popsicle stick to make a left-hand or right-hand knife, they're just right for marking and getting into corners, with a bit of flex if needed. Obviously, excessive finger pressure is not recommended nor necessary.

I use these Olfa Silver knives - I tune the blade opening by gentle pounding with a hammer. But I like your version better. I is my blade of choice.
