These scribers feature a straight point at one end of the scriber and should have a selection of angled points at the other. The angled point allows lines to be marked on the workpiece in confined areas like inside holes or on the underside of ridges.

These scribers have a straight point at one end and a flat blade at the other and should range in length from 100-250mm (4-10″). The blade is employed for marking lines on wood, plastic and other soft material. They have several other names including ‘striking knives’, ‘scoring knives’, ‘layout knives’ and ‘marking knives’, although most of those will only feature the blade and not have a scriber point at the other end.
