So I made a marking knife by cutting material for the blade from an old
card scraper. Thin enough for any socket I've been able to cut yet.

John wonders in reply:

Is the scraper blade too thin to make a single bevel knife with a point
shap ed like the Japanese knife in the photo? It would seem that with
such an arrangement all you would have to do is to rotate the blade 180
degrees to mark the other side of a dovetail. Just wondering if the
material is too thin to do that.

Cheers, John
