GT-87B Round Blade for Mr. Hobby GT-87

GT-87B – a round spare blade for the GT-87 knife (Gunze / Mr.Hobby)

This is a spare blade, not a whole knife. It is clamped into the GT-87 Mr. Carving Knife; without that holder you have nothing to put it in. Unlike the straight, angled blade, this one has a rounded cutting edge, which changes the way it is worked with.

Use

• Scraping and smoothing curved surfaces – where a straight blade would dig in or catch with its corners.
• Hollowing out and taking material away from recesses and concave places.
• Cleaning up convex forms and rounded detail (fuselages, covers, curved parts).
• Fine clean-up of shapes where the cutting edge needs to follow a curved surface.

Who it is for

For owners of the GT-87 knife who want to work on curved surfaces. Choose the round blade instead of the straight one everywhere curved surfaces and smooth scraping are involved – a straight blade suits straight cuts and edges better.

The blade is very sharp. Handle it carefully, work by drawing it away from yourself and store the blade out of the reach of children.
