It was a very fun project, and the knife performs well!
I like to make my own tools, and sometimes you just want to make a few tools. So I turned four marking knife handles. But I don’t need 4 marking knives, one is sufficient for me. So I asked on the Dutch woodwork forum what to do with the other handles. Some people suggest to sell them, and a day later I sold one handle and two complete marking knives for $35 each (complete knife). I dint knew before that there is such a great interest for shop made tools here in the Netherlands.
Here is a picture of one finished bloodwood marking knife. ((and yes, they are for sale) ;-)

Very nice. These look like tools that you would find at Lee Valley. Outstanding quality.

Nice looking knife. I need to make a couple very soon. What did you make the collar out of?

I’m thinking the collar is a piece of copper or brass tubing. That is a nice job for a most useful tool in the shop. Me? I’m cheap- I use an old penknife.
