Looks like Bob Z. has a new
website and has some great Black Friday deals going! Also free domestic and international shipping. I know many here have ordered from him in the past and his tools get very good reviews. Might be worth a look!

I am rather fond of is "Pattern Pilot" marking knife, myself. I have had the pleasure of dealing with him a couple of times. Nice guy.

Ron, what about it appeals to you? I'm thinking about getting one.

Looks like a "Cyber Monday" special has been added!

The blade is not too thin and flimsy while being fairly long. If memory servers me correctly it is 0.0625, about 1/16" thick. The kits are my first choice for gifts as I make my own handles.

Kerf Kadet user here. Before Lee Valley picked up a couple of his offerings, Bob used to be a vender at the Lie-Nielsen events, at least around Maryland. Always the nice guy with a rant of "You just purchased my last version in cocobolo, now I need to turn another one." It wasn't til the 2nd time seeing him that I bought a Kerf Kadet in O1 steel, then the third time I bought one of his birdcage awls.
I highly recommend Bob Z's marking knives.
