I had to rewatch this because I just received my Pask Makes marking knife and it’s glorious! If you’re on the fence don’t be, I can’t describe how beautiful yet well made and freakin sharp his marking knife is! Thank you Pask, it’s beautiful and high quality and something I’ll cherish forever! I love that we can support you and your work as your contribution to the woodworking, welding and forging communities is tremendous and can’t be understated! I look forward to using this exquisite jewel in my garage and thank you for the plans that came with your marking knife! I will absolutely be building from your plans and with the help of my Pask Makes marking knife 🤘🏼
There is an advantage to leaving one side completely flat (no leather) for woodworking marking where the craftsman needs to run the knife along the flat side of a thick board to mark another board beneath. A more accurate mark is made as opposed to coming in at an angle.
Pask that's awesome. Only advice I have is use contact adhesive instead of epoxy. Any epoxy or super glue can destroy the leather due to the exothermic reaction caused by the curing where as contact adhesive theres none and will stick solid. I'm a leather worker btw lol
They say that necessity is the mother of all invention. In wood working you need a good marking knife. But, when craftsmanship creates function and beauty, then it is artisan. Great job of both!
It is the accuracy of your work that never fails to astound me. The slightest difference in the grinding of the two bevels or curves, of even a tiny fraction of a mm, would stand out a mile yet it is perfect. You make it seem so easy when it really is not. Total respect!

Вы Мастер с большой буквы. С нетерпением жду Ваши видео. Такое терпение, такая обдуманность завораживает. Про сборки видео многие режиссеры позавидуют. Я Ваш фанат и мой лайк всегда. Учусь на Ваших работах.
I made one. If you make one you’ll be using it constantly. My favorite use is scraping corners of woodwork when restoring and painting. Worth its weight in gold. It came out great too.
Beautiful job! I don't yet have a belt sander of the quality I would need to make this but one day I might give it a try. The real gem here came during viewing this video! I noticed, briefly, that you mounted a thien separator on top of a blue (food grade) plastic barrel (had to return and pause to be certain). I had been stressing since the company that sold me the one I bought to transport water for my daughter's horses had nothing I wanted (old cinnamon, cardboard, barrel) thinking the blue barrel I have and no longer use might collapse under vacuum but I realize that not much vacuum pressure would exist there anyway. I have a cheap Harbor Freight dust and chip vac that I will use with my now unused blue barrel along with a, yet to be built, then separator so I can free up my shop vac which is attached to my chip and dust collection shop routing which works great (3" PVC copper and node/screw grounded end to end to prevent static ignition).
Hi, quick advice, if you want to make your touchmark to be embossed more distinctively, you can either slightly dampen the leather before punching it in, or heat your touch mark (not very much, probably somewhere between 150 and 200°C, I don't know for sure) and then just press it in. I personally prefer the latter for the touchmark. The latter, by the way, works not only on veg tan leather, but oil tan as well.
Was going to buy a 20 dollar marking knife. Didn't really like any designs. Decided to make my own. I have O1 steel ready for this. Woodworking and knife making is what I like to do. Your knife is cool.
This sounds stupid, but I love wearing my 'pask makes' shirt if mainly because people will ask me what it's about. I'll stop them short, open your videos channel, and force them to watch 30 seconds or so. You're a great inspiration. Never stop doing you.
you have a incredible nice style for your projects, i really like the marking knife. the last two days i tried to make a marking knive like yours and i am going to try the plane as well, very nice stuff!
Nice video, Neil. I made a marking knife a couple of months ago...handy tool indeed. Glad the leather is only thing that got banged up when the mop caught it!
What kind of work did you do in your regular world life before RUclips? Whatever it was I am betting you were/are good at it. You exhibit a high level of conscientiousness which I believe contributes to the high quality of every endeavor I see on this channel
Another great build. Have you ever tried using E6000? It's a really strong and very flexible adhesive. It can be used like glue or contact cement. It works great on attaching leather to metal. If that epoxy gives you troubles, try some E6000...
oh man. this resonated so strongly with me. more of a coffee guy usually, but im definitely going to brew a cup of tea and watch the next video that comes out! sounds so nice
Great job of the knife. Hardening and tempering are becoming a lost art and you were bang on. Perhaps 2 hours is a bit long I thought and it's important not to get any fingerprints on the surface once it's polished and before tempering. The colours are an important sign of achieving the correct temper. Really nice tool you made, thanks for sharing. Allan
Nice! I made a similair pair of knives from an old stanley plane blade that I split down the middle. The hardened part of the blade can be snapped in two with a vice and some pliers. The remains of the keyhole in the blade makes for a good finger groove. One knife has a bevel on the right side only and the other on the left side, but they are stored in a double pouch so both options are are always availible. (The one-sided bevel reduces the equally fragile and scary point on the marking knife.) An easier project with no need for additional heat- treatment and a good use for a used-up plane blade.
I have a Japanese marking knife. It is not to be careless around. The sharpneaa profile is similar to yours. It is sharpened on diamond and finished on leather.
Wow. That turned out incredibly Neil. I didn’t realize the grips were leather after seeing this on Instagram but the makers mark should have clued me in. Also congratulations on being included in the Makers Mob. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I like the idea, and it is much easier than I thought. I don't have the tools you to process it, but with my skills it will be possible to make my own. And yep, if you don't try it will never be possible.

It looks so good with that leather, I thought it was wood. Great job Neil. That's very inspirational cause now I want to take my chance in making one of this for me. Regards!
Coulple of things from a leather crafter….cut your leather a bit wider you can get the excess off with the belt sander. Rough the handle blank for better grip before gluing, I use contact cement or epoxy, both work well. I’d you don’t want the leather for the handle to “walk”, dry fit holding with tape, drill holes through all 3 layers, use glue with long open time and set rivets. So cut, shape, grind the metal. Cut leather to rough shape, dry fit with tape or small clamps and drill holes for rivets or pins. Glue up and set, remove the excess leather with a sander….use the sander to round out the leather edges for burnishing. Anything, and I do mean ANYTHING can burnish leather, as long as friction and heat are created. My favorite is denim or sail cloth. I use carnauba wax for leather and wood. I’d save sharpening until last.
Really nice work - I'm going to think about using that old table saw blade I have for making one just like this. Really appreciate your commentary and craftsmanship!

Thanks very much and thanks for the support! :)

I reckon one flat side also makes it easier to use it as a prying tool, if ever needed :)
That’s how I make my marking knives; wood on just one side so the flat back can register to whatever it’s being pressed against. Works out well.
@_ David _ no wai >:(
@_ David _ I feel you, I wouldn't wanna destroy my tools either but in a pinch you gotta do what you gotta do. 😅

Made my own twist on one of these using this video as a tutorial for my father in law for Christmas. He loved it! Thank you so much for sharing this.

Beautiful work - I think this should be your version of the Diresta ice pick! I want one.
I was thinking the same thing as I was watching.
We need this mass produced. Beautiful
Daniel Wahlig hopefully not as over priced
I want one too.

Received my knife today here in Finland. Beautiful piece of tool! 🇫🇮
Nice looking knife. I do leather working and that handle is a nice touch.

Gorgeous. I feel like the addition of a couple of brass rivets would look nice and help with the problem of the leather slipping when clamped.
you have a incredible nice style for your projects, i really like the marking knife.

Almost certain he is/was a professional framer for photos/art and all round good guy.
Another great build. Have you ever tried using E6000? It's a really strong and very flexible adhesive. It can be used like glue or contact cement. It works great on attaching leather to metal. If that epoxy gives you troubles, try some E6000...
Oh!
Pask just published!
I’ll get a cup of tea.
oh man. this resonated so strongly with me. more of a coffee guy usually, but im definitely going to brew a cup of tea and watch the next video that comes out! sounds so nice
Very nice, I've got a few old Stanley #4 and #4 1/2 plane irons that will be perfect for a few of these.
another fantastic video and build ! Once again you proved what a versatile Craftsman you are !
Great job of the knife. Hardening and tempering are becoming a lost art and you were bang on. Perhaps 2 hours is a bit long I thought and it's important not to get any fingerprints on the surface once it's polished and before tempering. The colours are an important sign of achieving the correct temper. Really nice tool you made, thanks for sharing. Allan
You should look at case hardening so you could you make something out of mild steel
It is a beautiful artifact. I'm also glad to see that I don't require a marking knife to make a marking knife.
Great to hear your joining makers mob , look forward to seeing you along with the other makers
Хороший мастер !!! А гриндер вообще сказка . Молодец !!!
You are an amazing craftsman and you’re always a pleasure to watch when you create something beautiful!

Great metalwork skills and a great knife, I never knew that about the magnet, could you explain that please?
Many thanks.

That turned out great, you should really sell some of those, they would sell like crazy
I recently got my knife, I love it, very well made and very useful.
Lovely little marking knife! Your projects just keep getting better and better.
Love the design man. Simple, functional and looks good
Simple, elegant and effective. Neil's trademark. Hand tools are cool.
It really is quite impressive how smart you are with tooling. Good Aye.
Love the look of the beveled end. Probably wouldn’t put the scratch awl on the end of mine
Beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Love the shape and so simple to make. Love the videos, thank you

Very beautiful piece you made. Thanks for sharing.
As always, another great video of something very useful. Your creativity and ingenuity amaze me!
Can't wait to give this one a go. I think I found what I will be making a few folks for Christmas this year!
I like ur style to mk Tools very very much. So practical so nice n easy but so so profesional... 💪👏👏👏
Definitely needs to be in your shop
Great looking marking knife!
Привет братишка
Beautiful woodworking tool...and rather wicked throwing knife!
Very nice work Neil. Handy tool and saves on pencils too 😁 Great video mate
Very Cool !!!!! Looks like a Ninja throwing spike.
Beautifully done. Every time I watch one of your videos I think to myself this man is a genius
Great work!
Beautiful. you do fantastic work. Thanks for sharing it. I'm curious though, what does the magnet do?
Ideal project for lazy afternoons. Nice, easy and very useful 👍🏻
once again a another brilliant design , here too working beyond your comfort levels ,,,, kodoos
Amazing video ! Why the magnet though?
It locks like an arrow head :D very cool marking knive and an unusual shape 👍
Great design! Love your sander.
Great thing. I wonder how well the leather will adhere over time. Very pretty.
I can't wait to try and make this modified for my needs. Great project!
I think the leather looks good like that. It's got that rugged used look.
It's a beautiful tool, well done
Great video. I am working on a leather project now and the burnishing technique is definitely going to be helpful.
Dude. So clever. Ive never thought of using my 123 blocks as a grinding jig for my knives. Im so trying it soon. Thank you
Your projects are always absolutely stunning. Hats off to you sir.
i made one from an old saw blade that looked exactly like that but without the awl and wooden scales:)

Sweet set of skills you got there. Always a treat to watch your vids.
It`s a pleasure watching you do that
What a beautiful simplistic piece of art you made there once again! You keep amazing me!
Hats off to you. As always you do a fantastic job. Now a question for you why do you check your work with a magnet? Thank you.
Once the magnet no longer sticks, the piece is hot enough to quench and harden.

herramienta impresindible para todo carpintero
Awesome make of an extremely useful tool! Thank for sharing your build!
Nice marker. Try shellac on the leather as a finish some time! You can always wax and buff it after.
Gorgeous tool!
Looks great. I like the leather grip
A beauty
A very cool, very useful marking knife. Thanks!
Great awesome job Neil. I it's beautiful. 👍 👍 👍 👍 Wauuuuuuuuuuu
Martin 🙋♂️
great job Neil
I like the design very much! probably wouldn't use lether for the grip...
Awesome work Neil! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
What a nice marking knife!...curious why you chose a diamond wheel instead of " zip " wheel to cut the basic shape? Heat?
