The Twin Blade Kebiki Marking Gauge is a traditional Japanese woodworking tool designed for precision scribing and layout. This type of gauge utilizes dual single-bevel cutting blades to score clean, accurate lines parallel to the edge of the workpiece. The dual blades allow for marking two lines simultaneously, or one line if a single blade is retracted, and they are engineered to cut the wood fibers cleanly to prevent tear-out. The tool is commonly used to layout precise joinery, including dovetails, mortise and tenons, grooves, and rabbets. The scored line provides a sharp, visible reference that aids in the accurate positioning of hand-saws and chisels for subsequent cuts. The gauge features two adjustable sliding beams that are held securely in place with a thumbscrew to set the required width of cut.
