FAQs

Can I replace the blades once I run out of the spares?

Yes, the craft knives use standard industry-sized no.11 blades, which are widely available at most craft and hardware stores.

Is this set suitable for children?

These are precision tools and include sharp blades; they should be used under adult supervision if provided to minors.

Will these tools work on metal parts?

These tools are optimized for model plastic, wood, and soft wire; they are not intended for cutting or shaping hardened steel.

What is the weight of the full set?

The set is lightweight and portable, designed for easy transport to hobby clubs or workshops.

Can I buy replacement tools individually if I lose one?

While individual tools are not part of a separate spare parts catalog, the set is designed to be a complete starter kit for hobbyists.

Troubleshooting

Blade feels loose in the craft knife handle

Unscrew the collet slightly, ensure the blade is fully inserted into the slot, and tighten the collet firmly.

Tools show signs of surface oxidation

Wipe with a light machine oil and a clean cloth to remove surface rust and provide a protective barrier.
