Hamilton Joinery Knife (Walnut Crotch)

Give up my Japanese marking knife? I thought that would never happen. That wall started to crumble after I purchased a Hamilton panel gauge. I was so struck by the fine craftsmanship I took another look at the Hamilton joinery knife. The blade cover was a plus, having cut myself a few times with my existing blade. The magnets in the cover are clever, I thought; why not? I'll give it a try. Upon receipt I noted the craftsmanship is amazing, the magnets hold the sheath firmly in place, and the blade is elegant - more so than my all-steel knife. Nothing compares to the warmth of a wood handle! The Japanese blade has gone to the bench - to be called for large beam work. The Hamilton knife is now my go-to tool for 90% of the work. Buy one! When is the next time you will be able to use a piece of art to make yours materialize !?
