Stainless Steel Carving & Grinding Knife

The U-STAR stainless carving and grinding knife

This tool of the U-STAR brand is made of stainless steel and serves for carving, scraping and coarser reworking of surfaces on plastic models. It combines the functions of a cutting and an abrasive tool, so it suits removing a larger amount of material as well as the cleaning up that follows. The stainless version resists corrosion and is easy to maintain. It is a working tool, not a kit.

Use

• Carving and reshaping plastic parts.
• Scraping away parting seams and excess material.
• Roughening or leveling a surface before further work.
• Cleaning up the places where casting blocks have been cut off.

Who it is for

It suits modelers who need a more robust tool for shaping and cleaning surfaces. Work with controlled pressure, proceed in smaller passes and check the shape of the part as you go.

The tool has a sharp working part. Draw it away from your fingers, work on a firm surface and store it out of the reach of children.
