I use a sharp #2 pencil and leave the line.
Using a knife for marking pins and tails cuts into the wood you want to keep, does it not?
My pencil is the only tool I have not yet cut myself with.
(This list includes dead-blow hammers.)
the pencil is way easier to see
I have a permanent graphite "tattoo" on the heel of my palm where I impaled myself with a pencil in 4th grade.
Now that's impressive
A little; I see your point (no pun intended). The knife also has the advantage of establishing the show edge. I sometimes trace the knife line with a pencil if I need help seeing it.
