Tamiya 74040 Knife for Careful Model Finishing

When finishing RC kits, the Tamiya 74040 Modeler's Knife provides the control needed for exact trimming and delicate shaping. Its sharp blade and balanced body help reduce slips and keep edges neat.

Design and Cutting Details

The Tamiya 74040 Modeler's Knife combines a compact profile with a razor-like edge for precision tasks. Measuring 140mm in length with a 9mm diameter, it feels secure in the hand for steady work. The blade thickness of 0.45mm allows for accurate separation and trimming of common modelling materials.

Typical Projects and Techniques

Use the knife for cleaning up sprue marks, contouring balsa parts, and trimming decals on cars, planes and boats. It is suitable for careful work by hobbyists at any skill level who want clean, repeatable results.

Supervision is recommended for youths. Teach correct grip, cutting away from the body, and safe blade changing to reduce risk.
Blades of this type are typically replaced rather than sharpened. Keeping spare blades on hand ensures consistent cutting quality.
Wipe the handle and blade after use, store the tool dry to avoid corrosion, and swap dull blades promptly to maintain precision.
