As a general rule, I would say "yes, but only within There is no precision point to really get into smaller spaces, such as the fingers of a 28mm scale model. This is a good tool for removing mold lines, however. In brittle glue I am sure this could chip it off, but if it is really caked on or if it is in a tight spot I would probably opt for a purposefully dulled xacto blade with a good point.
This knife does not do much more than what you can already do with an exact knife like that. Due to my clumsiness, this is handy for me because I will not
It is extremely rare that I have ever needed to sharpen mine, but if it did, I would use a file to flatten the tool and then use the bur that would make one edge of the tool to make cuts. The blade of the scraper looks

The majority of my filing is done with files (which I enjoy) and I also use an x-acto knife to scrape and file mold lines and flash With the knife and everything else I might need to correct miniatures, I figured I had everything I might need. This is not the case. In addition to being expensive for what amounts to a small dull metal blade with a handle, this tool has been praised for its ability to quickly scrape off flashing and to significantly reduce the appearance of mold lines on plastic models. My experience with metal miniatures has yet to be tested, so I cannot comment on it. A person with X-linked disorders would think that In this case, the knife is actually better since it does the same thing, but it also does it faster. There is no explanation for this, but it exists. Perhaps this is because the blade on this tool is quite rigid and doesn't have the "play" that a thinner X-acto blade would have A blade does what it is supposed to do. My files have not been replaced NOR has my XP on my PC been replaced ACT knives aren't my favorite knives, but lately I find myself using them more than others. I use one of the other familiar implements at my desk since, as other reviewers have stated, it's hard to get into tight spaces with it. I rated this product 4 stars because it is a little expensive and it has difficulty getting into those tough to reach places. Nonetheless, it is worth testing because the results may surprise you as well as they did me.
Although using this tool to remove mold lines from models is much more useful than using a hobby/craft knife. As for metal figures, I haven't tried them nor do I care to work with them, but after all the research I did on this tool, the results suggest that it will work just as well with metallic materials as it does with Now that I have one of these beauties, I won't accidentally slice my fingers to ribbons with exact blades (I am clumsy that way), and outside of trimming larger chunks of flash and the like, I am not going to need my craft knives much more now.
Okay, I know what you mean. For those stubborn mold lines, make sure to use a razor-sharp knife. However, I have to be serious. Here is what you should do I feel like I'm in a magic world. It's as though the mold lines have disappeared. The first time I bought it, I didn't think much of it, but now I use it constantly. The price is definitely worth it.
Moldlines are perfect for this. It removes them perfectly, although it can be tricky to reach some of them and the point can be a bit too large for tight places. If there is anything larger than a mouldline that needs to be filed/sanded down. I recommend you getting a file as well. For example, the bits where you cut the model off of the bracket can not be effectively removed with this tool since they are too thick or large.
Taking the world by storm. Having thought my friend was crazy, I assumed he was in trouble when he used this. This thing is much loved by him, so I now understand Obviously it's 16 dollars because it's game workshop, but it's far more effective than an exact knife. I was shocked to find that I was impressed with it after the first time I used The pealer works just like an apple pealer and it's so easy to use. Doesn't seem to need to be sharpened. The model will look fantastic in metal, pewter, or plastic.
This little tool looks like a block of metal that doesn't seem useful, but it works better than my hobby knife since it is not as damaging. You can use it without risk of gouging or leaving hard edges, it works like fine sandpaper or shaving razors. There aren't many other alternatives, and the cost may be higher than you would like, but using a knife will be more expensive in the long run.
As far as its application and design are concerned, this tool is very uncommon. As far as dealing with aberrations from magnifying headsets are concerned, Xactos will only get you so far. There have been more times I've cut myself open than I care to remember. Moldlines can be removed by using this tool. Even though it has difficulty in getting to the tiniest of spots, it really excels in its use. From now on, there will be no more deep gouging or cutting A Xacto knife can be used to slice into the model. However, the tip of the pen could be pointed or it could be dual sided, but overall, I like it since it adds variety to my collection.
To begin with, I was skeptical of the price and did not know what to expect. The more I'm used to using it, and it does take a little while to learn what pressure to use and what edge to use, the more I recommend it to anyone in modeling as it should be a part of every user's.
