About product

A carving knife with a blade of tungsten steel

An engraving and cutting tool for fine work on a model. The material of the working part is part of the name of the item: tungsten steel is among the hardest tool materials and holds an edge substantially longer than an ordinary blade of tool steel.

Typical use in building

The tool is used for deepening molded panel lines, for cleaning up a parting line and for small changes to the shape of a part. The hard edge stands up to resin and harder mixes of plastic too, where a softer edge quickly goes blunt. Material is taken off by repeated strokes over one place, not by force in a single pull. It serves just as well in removing sprue nubs in corners and in places a file and a sanding sponge cannot reach.

Safe work with a hard edge

  • Cut away from the body and always with a surface under the part.
  • A hard edge is brittle, do not lever sideways with it.
  • Lead the line along a ruler or a flexible template.
  • Store the tool out of the reach of children.

Who the knife is for

It suits a modeler who engraves lines himself and wants a tool with a long life of the edge. It comes into its own in reworking parts of resin and of three-dimensional printing too, where the surface is harder and an ordinary blade quickly rounds off. For first attempts it is sensible to try the stroke on an offcut of sprue.

The width of the cut, the length of the tool and the contents of the package are not specified in the name of the item. The description therefore keeps to what is documented about the goods.

FAQ

It is markedly harder, so it stays sharp longer. At the same time it is more brittle, so it must not be levered sideways.

Yes, the hard edge copes with it. Proceed slowly and extract or wipe away the dust that arises.

After work wipe the blade dry and store it so that the edge does not rest against anything.
