It really depends on what you're making, if you're making really fine joinery and furniture you need a finer mark but if all you do is make doors and windows or even bog standard kitchens you don't need something so fine.

Yup, marking knife for joints etc and a 4H for other stuff where it's not quite so crucial, plus a normal HB for rough marking out. I use a thin, black biro for marking out dovetails. I'so got a couple of 0.7mm Rotring clutch pencils from WH for sketching - Rob

Do you not have trouble seeing a 4H? Admittedly, my eyesight isnt great but there are times (and timbers) where I can barely see a 2H. Agree with the biro, I've used biro on and off for the last 20 years...mainly due to losing pencils but they do make an excellent alternative.
Rotring pencil looks nice.

I personally never did but everyone I worked with hated the marks I made with a 4H pencil when I used to use one daily, I managed to keep that pencil for a whole year before it eventually wore down to nothing!

For everyone else's sake, I only use 2H, HB or the Biro now. I got tired of people giving me dodgy looks

I use one of these for general/rough marking or just scribbling on wood. Only 100mm long and very sturdy.
