The Modelcraft Fine Point Blades are designed for crafters, hobbyists, and model makers who demand precision and consistency in their fine-detail work. These #11 blades excel at intricate tasks like carving, etching, and trimming, offering an ideal solution for cutting paper, card, plastic, balsa, and foils with professional-grade accuracy. While these blades offer exceptional sharpness for delicate projects, users should be aware that they are specialized tools primarily optimized for use with the Modelcraft Comfort Grip Craft Knife and require careful handling to maintain their edge longevity.

Yes, these are standard #11 blades and will fit most professional-grade craft knife handles that use a collet-style tightening system.
No, these blades are intended for paper, thin plastic, and balsa. Using them on thick, dense materials can lead to blade snapping.
Place used blades in a puncture-proof container, such as a metal tin or a dedicated 'blade bank' before placing them in your regular household waste.
No, this product includes the 15 replacement blades only.
Change the blade whenever you feel increased resistance or notice the need to apply extra pressure to complete a cut, as a dull blade is more dangerous than a sharp one.
Ensure the handle collet is fully tightened and the blade tang is properly seated in the center of the chuck.
Avoid cutting on non-resilient surfaces like glass, ceramic, or metal. Always use a self-healing cutting mat.
Avoid lateral (side-to-side) pressure. Use the blade for vertical cutting only and avoid using the tip as a lever.
To install these blades, ensure your craft knife handle is in the unlocked position. Loosen the collet or chuck mechanism, remove the dull blade, and insert the new Modelcraft #11 blade until it sits securely. Tighten the collar firmly to prevent blade wobble. Regarding compatibility, these blades are designed for the Modelcraft Comfort Grip Craft Knife but will function with most standard craft knife handles that accept a #11 blade. For maintenance, avoid cutting against glass or stone surfaces, as this will dull the edge instantly. Always store the blades in their original container or a specialized blade block to protect the tips from damage and to ensure user safety.
