For modellers who demand fine detail, the Tamiya 74145 Fine Engraving Blade offers a precise 0.15mm tip ideal for panel lines and subtle surface work. The tungsten carbide construction helps maintain a reliable edge through repeated use.
The 0.15mm blade is available alongside other thicknesses to match different detailing tasks. It measures 25mm in total length and has a 2mm shank diameter. Tamiya recommends using Item 74139 holder, though the blade will also fit the Fine Pin Vise D (Item 74050) and D-R (Item 74112).
Hold the blade at an angle between 45 and 60 degrees and pull gently to score the surface. Repeating shallow passes will create a defined line while reducing the chance of slips or gouges.
Each unit ships in a handy case able to hold up to ten blades for neat storage. The shank has a colour-coded band so you can check blade thickness at a glance when changing tips.
