I appreciate your reading but I have not reviewed that sharpener.

Sure, a marking knife has the great advantage of making a very accurate line that is also a physical border, but there are many situations where a knife mark should not or cannot be used, and a pencil line is preferable.

Yes, it does require continual sharpening, but I don’t find that a problem.

After watching the video series of Philip Lowe and his workbench in fine woodworking I’ve been trying to only use a marking knife during layout.
