Which marking knife should I choose, standard or thin?

There is not much difference between the Narex standard and thin marking knives. Choose by what you do most:

Thin marking knife – gets into narrow sockets and tight spaces, such as when cutting dovetails
Standard or thicker marking knife – is steadier and flexes less when you draw it along a square or rule

If you cut a lot of fine dovetails, a thin knife can be worth having as a complement to a standard one.
