A head to head comparison of Godhand vs. Zoukei – Mura
So I immediately go to Michigan Toy Soldier to order one of these smooth as butter nippers.
While there I strayed from my task and my eye was dazzled by another tool.
My assumption is that a knife comes with a “sharp” edge but as hard as I looked I couldn’t find one. At first I thought this was a plastic cover covering the blade , but no this is the blade.
I recall hearing somewhere that as a last resort you should read the instructions.
I fish those back out of the trash can where all instructions live and I again was perplexed.
From the page you linked from Michigan Toy:
“This Ceramic Knife is great for finishing your SD’s seams. The ceramic surface cuts through the hard resin smoothly, but will not cut you!
To use your Ceramic Knife you should gently scrape down the area you want to trim. Use a shaving motion to slowly trim off the part you would like to take off. The blade cuts through the resin very easily so be careful not to cut into the material, or to move it from side to side as you might take out more than you intended!
We recommend the Flat Blade for all general uses.”
Seems more like a file/sanding stick than a knife. Or maybe a plane (the woodworking tool not wingy thing).
It is a seam scraper. I have a similar one with a curved blade. It is superb for getting rid of seams and is my go-to weapon for cleaning parts. You use the edge of the blade to scrape. It never has to be sharpened. I’ve been using mine for about 3 years with no hint of dulling. I may have to give this blade shape a try.
I have had one of these for years and use it on resin figures. It works great, and like it says you won’t slice you hand open if you slip up. It works well on plastic too. Is it the end all be all? Nope. But it is a good tool for what it needs to do. The circle ones are great for folds of clothing or saddle shaped areas. Again no gouging of a pointy thing.
