New tool....

[hedotwo]

I spend the majority of my hobby time restoring glue bombs that usually require lots of bodywork.  I may be crazy, but this is the part of the hobby I like best.  Because of this weird passion I've aquired a ton of tools to deal with all sorts of repairs and I thought I'd gotten all I need.  But, I recently picked up a pack of two Tamiya scraper blades from Amazon and I'm sold on these.  They're super sharp and just require a gentle drag back and forth on a seam line, or whatever, and it's gone.  So far they seem to hold their edge really well too.  Maybe these aren't new to a lot of us, but they were to me.  I still like my assortment of riffler files equally though.  Just my two cents.....

And where would one find these? I know crazy question. Found them on Amazon.

That looks like a very useful blade. Never saw these before. Cheers.

Do they fit a regular hobby knife or only Tamiya’s pricey one?

They are also available from Scale Hobbyist and similar vendors for those (like me) who would rather support hobby specific businesses.

You're right, I guess only Tamiya's pricey ones.  These are just a smidge wider than a typical #11 blade, so unless you can either widen your holders a bit, or narrow the blade, you're stuck unfortunately.  I guess I didn't realize this as I already had Tamiya holders.  Thanks for pointing this out.

What do you search for on Amazon to find these scrapers?

X-Acto makes different size handles, I have two or three different ones.
