It's ground to a keen 25° bevel with a 55° included angle at the tip, giving it a fine edge for slicing wood fibers cleanly.
Yes, the dual bevel makes the striking knife equally comfortable for right- or left-hand use, or for marking either side of a reference surface.
A knife leaves an incised line rather than a graphite mark, which guides a saw or chisel more precisely when starting a cut and improves layout accuracy.
It ships with a guard that protects the blade's tip during storage.
The handle is nylon-reinforced ABS, contoured for a comfortable grip, with flats that provide tactile cues for blade orientation and keep the knife from rolling on a surface.
