A little while back there was a discussion on how after years of scoring lines on paper models the metal straight edge is no longer straight and has a slight curve to it.
I was looking at some hardwood dowels I had lying around and decided to run one through a pencil sharpener to see if it would work as a tool for scoring. It does in fact work.
A 1/4 inch or approximately 6mm diameter dowel was used. You can vary the sharpness to get as fine a point as you want. You must be careful if it is too sharp because it would then be more likely to puncture the page you are scoring.
Since the metal straight edge is harder than the hardwood dowel there should be no wearing away of the straight edge edge(:confused:).:)
Just tune it up with another trip through the pencil sharpener when needed.
