I changed it a bit to improve its grip and it's just amazing now.

Cool!!! might decrease corrosion resistance....,but who cares :) that is one pimpin scribe :thumbup:
 
JT, this reminds me of a really neat story:

A salesman came into a butcher shop and wanted to sell his new device. He opened a box and took out a shiny machine. It had chrome all over it, a power cord, and lots of switches and dials. He plugged it in and pressed a button. A motor caused a blade to slowly come out of the tool. he pressed another button. A second blade came out. He turned one dial and the blades aligned at exactly 41.578 degrees. He turned another dial making the blades contact each other with exactly 4.936 ounces of force. He pressed the big red button and the blades slowly closed. He stood back with a big smile, and proudly said, "And it can be yours for $1000". The butcher was amazed by the complexity and accuracy of the machine. He looked up and said, "I'll take one." After he counted out the money, he looked puzzled, and asked, "What will this machine do for me?" The salesman proudly said, "Cut string!"

I'm really attracted to this tool. It looks like a bug, a metal munching caterpillar, propeller up front, slides along looking to slice a future slicer.
The checkering is a nice option.
I think it would be more appealing if the set screw was tweaked a bit, just my .02

I have a marker that works, but every time I use it, I'm turned off by the set screw knob with it's course thread and plastic .

This is a tool , to own because of it's uniqueness, beauty and tactile pleasure.


I'd sign up for one immediately but I'm outa work and I need belts etc., It's on my list .

I like it and would like to get one some day. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to get one of the first lot... still paying for the forge, etc.

Is that a centerline scribe? I have not seen that design before. Is that your design?

I gotta be the only dufus around hear the can't figure out how this thing is supposed to work. :grumpy:

Can you explain the tool's operation... maybe add some photos or a video... a spokesmodel would be a nice touch.:eek: And also if you could have Keifer Sutherland narrate the whole thing, that would be cool.

Since Jarod is offline, I'll say what I think. I believe you loosen the screw, turn the carbide bit to the proper height, tighten the screw, and then slide the edge of a profiled blade across it, and the carbide scrapes a line that would be the center line. Flip the knife over and slide it again, and then you have two reference lines so you know where the center of the blade is when you're grinding.
 
Yes, the tool lays flat on a flat surface ( notice the one flat side) and the adjustments make the scribe tip closer or farther from the surface. Once set, slide the scribe along the blade ,or the blade along the scribe.

Thanks Stacy... I did not notice the flat side.

OK the prototyping is done and its all ready. here is the update pictures of the final prototype. the cnc worked great for doing the flat and then the index marks as well as the lettering.
