Choosing the correct blade type dramatically improves cutting performance and extends blade life. Straight edge blades excel at general cutting tasks including trimming plastic parts from sprues, cutting masking tape, and slicing sheet styrene. Curved edge blades navigate tight curves and intricate shapes, making them ideal for cutting decals, trimming photo-etch parts, and following complex contours. Chisel blades scrape away excess putty, remove mold lines, and score fold lines in paper and card stock. Deburring blades clean up rough edges on drilled holes and cut openings. Engraving blades scribe fine lines for panel details and surface textures. Replace blades frequently to maintain cutting precision, as dull blades tear materials rather than cutting cleanly, crush delicate parts, and require excessive pressure that reduces control and increases injury risk.
Professional modelers treat cutting tools with respect and maintain them properly for optimal performance and safety. Always cut away from your body and keep fingers clear of the cutting path. Use a self-healing cutting mat to protect work surfaces and extend blade life by preventing contact with hard surfaces that dull edges. Store knives with blade guards or caps in place to protect both the blade edge and prevent accidental cuts. Dispose of used blades safely in a dedicated sharps container, never loose in trash where they pose injury hazards. Clean knife handles regularly to remove accumulated oils and adhesive residue that reduce grip security. Keep multiple knives on hand so you can dedicate specific knives to specific tasks, preventing cross-contamination between adhesives, paints, and cutting operations.
