Sawmill Creek Woodworking Community
Like pencils, there never seems to be a striking knife at hand when you need it. The knife has an A2 tool-steel blade with a 55° included angle at the tip. Ground to a keen edge at a 25° bevel angle, it slices wood fibers cleanly. It leaves an incised marking line that serves to guide a saw or chisel when starting a cut, helping to improve accuracy.

Space-saving, edge-guarding chisel holder
Commonly called a chisel plane, this 6 1/2 long by 1 3/4 wide plane has an exposed full-width blade that lets you work up to adjacent surfaces. It excels at making paring cuts in places where a chisel would be awkward or impossible to use, making short work of cleaning up corners and joints inside carcasses. Because the blade can be set level with the sole, you can also trim plugs or small inlays flush without marring the surrounding wood.
