Center Scoring Tool in Blade Mag?

[nailcreek]

I recall seeing a neat little tool that was used to score a centerline on a blade blank edge listed in a recent issue of Blade Magazine under "new products" or some such area. Can anyone point me to the maker with an address or website?

While pretty cool little tool, the one I recall seeing in Blade had a flat piece with an adjustable rod with a set screw sticking up near the edge, and on the rod was a carbide cutter acting as a scribe. What I liked about it, was that you could mark a line close to center on each side of the blade.

I've seen height gauges used. You can vary your scribe lines from center. This one does NOT have a carbide scribe however. Google "Height gauge gage". There's even some on ebay but not really for any better price than new. ~$50-$60 for a digital gauge.

The one you are referring to is the one at usaknifemaker.com it was featured in the january issue of blade magazine.

Get a height gage, then you can scribe your center line, then drop .010" below and scribe, then raise .010" above and scribe a line. You will have three scribe lines a center line and a line on each side to grind to pre-heat treat to insure your grinds are straight.
