hedotwo Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 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..... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Thorne Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Do they fit a regular hobby knife or only Tamiya’s pricey one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also available from Scale Hobbyist and similar vendors for those (like me) who would rather support hobby specific businesses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
