This is a New Knife Maker’s Edge Line Scriber. The body of this scribe is made from 1″ X 3″ 1018 steel round bar stock
and has a 13/16″ flat milled lengthwise. The cross bar is made from 1/2″ X 2-1/2″ 1018 steel round bar stock and has a 7/16″ flat milled lengthwise. The crossbar is held in place by 1/4-20 hex head bolt. This bolt is solid brass so it will not chew up the surface of the steel crossbar when tightened down. The tungsten carbide rod
is 1/8″ diameter by a full 1-1/2″ long solid carbide. This rod
has been professionally ground. One end of the carbide rod has a perfect very sharp 60 degree point and the back end has a slight chamfer. The carbide rod is held in place in the cross bar by a solid brass thumb screw. This is a well made rugged scribe that can be used on the round or flat side of the body. It can even be used as a center scribe down to 1/16″ as is. With a simple flat angle grind on the backside of the carbide rod, you could flip the rod over and use this as a center scribe down to zero. Made in the USA in a Small New Hampshire Shop.
