I'm not experienced, but extremely lazy - so I use the back of my knife if it's a straight one, or even the front, if I'm feeling especially lazy. I find that I can get a pretty straight line without using a ruler. But for those scoring jobs that are longer than my hand, I use my metal ruler too.
Though, I do have a ball point scoring tool - but I managed to make that useless when I ran it along the ruler and carved a bit off. Whoops! It was a bit soft... At the moment, I have two knives sitting on my desk. I'm using one of them to score with, (brings back memories of the Bates House....) as it's too blunt to cut and has a straight back edge. My knife (exacto) has that notched bit at the top of the blade back that makes it impossible to use for a hand drawn straight line.
