This knife has a snap off blade that allows quick replacement of the sharp edge. The blade is scored, so that when the cutting point of the blade dulls, it is easy to use the tool that stores in the handle to break off the dulled piece. Then you have a fresh point for precise cutting. Often called for in bookbinding workshop supply lists. (Also called a break-off knife.)

This is a tool that I have wanted for years. All other markers are too wide for many uses. The writing tip is plastic, so it stays sharp throughout the life of the marker. These sizes are suitable for more formal envelope addressing (rather than big, fun colorful stuff). Black only. Specify size: 0.8mm or 1.3mm. Italic Fountain Pentel. JM208. JM213. From Japan. Non-waterproof.
***Nov. 2011: We can no longer obtain the 1.3mm marker from our supplier in the states. We are attempting to order from Japan and will have more stock in early 2012. You can order the pens and we will send the other items of the order and we will contact you once the 1.3mm arrives. There is no shortage of the 0.8mm.
