I'm looking for a specific style of striking/marking knife. I found
*exactly* what I want at Lee Valley[1], but for some reason "this
product is not available for shipment to the U.S." I've looked
through the online stores for a few other vendors like Lie-Nielsen,
Highland Hardware, Garrett Wade, Woodcraft and Amazon, but came up
with nothing. There's plenty of marking knives out there that seem to
be good for just right hand use or just left hand use, but I need one
like the type Lee Valley has that is good for left or right hand use.
Anyone have a link to an online store that sells this same style of
striking/marking knife?
Thanks.

I wonder if that is because of the rosewood handle?

How about the CTW Marking Knife, second from the top here:

Sure - how about 4 online stores?
I don't know if they're similar enough for you to call one exactly the
same, but maybe one of these would work:
http://www.czeckedge.com/MarkingKnives.html
Prices seem reasonable, and the guy who makes these is a well-
respected member of the Woodnet forum.
thebestthings.com has a few high-end versions, including Blue Spruce
and Chester Toolworks.
toolsforworkingwood.com has some by Ron Hock (presumably also
available directly from Ron, who would probably customize one for your
if you so desired), and also the Chester Toolworks models. TFWW also
has a "real" store in NYC, but if that's not local for you, they have
especially fast shipping.
Finally, there are also few types available at Japan Woodworker. One
cheaper one:
http://japanwoodworker.com/product.asp?s=JapanWoodworker&pf_id=64%2E619%2E0&dept_id=13220
and they sell a "Veritas striking knife" that doesn't exactly look
like the one in your link, but maybe it's close enough:
http://japanwoodworker.com/product.asp?s=JapanWoodworker&pf_id=27%2E050%2E601&dept_id=13220
Hope this helps,

Mine is a recycled file, torch tempered yellow, ground to a
single bevel spear point. No handle, so I can sight it along
a ruler or square easier or use it to scribe one surface
onto another by holding the knife flat against the first.

You could do the same with a spare 3/4" chisel.

I live 5min from an LV store. If you really want that one, email me and
we can make arrangements.

Michael,
It looks like these folks sell and ship the very knife to the US:

Nope. But easy enough to make your own. I made a batch of
knives/saws similar by slotting handles and gluing in sections of
bandsaw blade. You can grind 'em to shape as desired.

I had the same problem and ended up buying a right hand single edge knife
and then modifying it on the grinder to match the general design of Lee
Valley's. It's been doing fine for me for about 10 years now.

I have that exact knife, and I live in the US. It's a great tool, and
super easy to keep sharp.
Have you called LV and asked why no US shipment? Maybe a Canadian
'wrecker can help?

Interesting. So LV used to sell/ship it to the US--but now they don't.

I like LV and I like their products, but if their web site won't
sell it to me, I would rather put my time to use looking for another
vendor that will sell me what I'm looking for.
Based on the tip from Andy, I just got a similar spear point marking
knife from Japan Woodworker.

Just looking for that spear point, so that it can be used either right or left handed.
