About product

Slim Snap-Off Knife and 10 blades - a Vallejo modeling snap-off knife

A snap-off knife solves one particular problem in a modeling workshop: keeping the edge sharp all the time. As soon as the tip stops cutting cleanly, the blunted segment is snapped off and the work goes on. In modeling work that is no small matter, because a blunt blade tears plastic not only to the eye but literally, and leaves a whitened edge that then has to be sanded and filled. The slim body is held much like a pencil, so the knife will manage long straight cuts along a ruler as well. According to the title the package holds a knife and ten blades; the dimensions, the width of the blade and the material of the body are given on the packaging.

Use

  • Cutting self-adhesive and masking tape, decal sheets, paper, card and thin plastic sheet.
  • Dividing longer straight parts along a ruler, where a scalpel is awkward and nippers are not exact.
  • Running the cut in several shallow strokes instead of one heavy one. Plastic divides better by repeated cutting through than by pressure.
  • Snapping the blunted segment off as soon as the blade starts to drag the material instead of cutting it.

What to watch out for

A snap-off blade is by its nature thinner and springier than a scalpel one, so it does not suit levering, separating thick sprue gates or deep cuts into thick plastic. Use nippers or a saw for that. A snapped-off segment is still dangerously sharp, so put it in a closed container, not in the bin. Before snapping, lock the knife and always snap the blade away from yourself, ideally with pliers or with the case meant for it.

A tool with a sharp edge. Keep it out of the reach of children, retract the blade into the body after the work and dispose of used segments safely.

FAQ

According to the name of the product, ten. Further details about the contents of the package are given on the packaging.

It will not replace it completely. For long straight cuts and for tape it is more comfortable, while for fine cleaning up and work in tight places a scalpel with a short stiff blade stays better.

Thin sprue gates yes, but thick ones rather not. A thin snap-off blade breaks when levered. For rough dividing use nippers and only clean the remainder up with the knife.

Snap them away from yourself, best of all with the case or with pliers, and put them in a closed container. A loose discarded segment is just as sharp as a new blade.
