About product

The U-STAR modeling knife with a ceramic blade

A cutting tool in the shape of a pen fitted with a ceramic blade. Ceramic differs from steel in two things a modeler will appreciate: it does not corrode, so neither damp nor the remains of thinners will ruin it, and it holds its edge markedly longer, because it does not blunt as quickly as a thin steel blade. It moreover leaves no metal marks on a surface, which comes in useful when working with light plastic and with transparent parts.

What the knife is for

  • Scraping and cleaning up parting lines, that is, work at which a steel blade blunts quickly.
  • Removing burrs and the remains of gates from nipped-off parts.
  • Cutting masking tape, films and thin plastic profiles.
  • Indicating chips and damage to paint by scraping during weathering.
  • Opening up blanked holes and making fine adjustments to engraved lines.

How to handle the knife

Ceramic is hard but more brittle than steel. Lead the knife in a pulling stroke, therefore, do not lever with it and do not use it as a screwdriver or a pry bar, because under a sideways load the blade can crack. The pen shape invites a firm grip close to the point, which is right: the shorter the part of the blade beyond your fingers, the better the control you have over the cut. After work, wipe the blade and store the knife so that the point rests against nothing.

Who the knife is for

For modelers who do a lot of scraping and cleaning up and do not want to change steel blades constantly, and for everyone who works with transparent or light parts, on which metal rub marks show.

This is a sharp tool. Cut away from your body, use a cutting mat and store the knife out of reach of children. Do not go on using a cracked blade.

FAQ

It does not corrode, holds its edge markedly longer and leaves no metal marks on plastic. It is more brittle, though, so it will not take sideways levering.

Ceramic blades are sold separately as well. Before buying a replacement, though, check that the shape of the mounting matches this handle.

It complements it. For long precise cuts with a thin point a scalpel stays more practical, while for scraping and cleaning up ceramic is more durable.

It is enough to wipe it dry after work and to protect the point from knocks. Ceramic does not rust, so it needs no oiling.
