The Many Uses For Hobby Blades

Give more detail to your next model build or craft project.

Hobby Blades have as many uses in today’s hobby and craft market as there are styles of

them. Not only are hobby blades used by hobby and craftenthusiasts the world over, but  they are also employed by industrial manufacturing companies from New York to California and all the way to China. Hobby blades are primarily used by hand for intricate trimming and precise dissection of small electronics, plastics, battery materials, woods, films, foils and many other products.

Artists use hobby blades for cutting, scoring, stenciling paper, wood, clay and wax.

They can be fixed in a standard hobby blade handle. Hobby blade handles come in a wide

variety of sizes and quality levels. Most blade handles will accommodate any hobby

blade. 

You have no doubt seen hobby blades used in today’s popular “extreme” cake making

competitions to achieve their fine detail and artistry. Wherever a standard kitchen knife or

box cutter just won’t do, a hobby blade can make the ordinary, extraordinary.

While sharpness and material quality always plays a role in the quality of a cut, with

hobby blades, much of the end product is in the hands of the craftsman or worker who

wields them. Fine precision and intricacy is a benefit of these light duty tools and a

steady hand always helps!

 

There are dozens of shapes and sizes to choose from when selecting a hobby blade for your particular craft or project. This is why many companies offer hobby blade kits with a wide assortment of blades to choose from. Good luck on your next project, and don’t forget to pick up some hobby blades and add that finished touch to your work!
