Modelcraft PKN3305/S Precision Craft Knife Set , Silver , 16 Piece

Strong, lots of fittings, good sturdy handles, good quality, good durable storage box. Good value

Very sharp blades but they fall out if you don't retighten often which can be frustrating. The handles are a good size and appear to be good quality.

So nearly 5 stars. The actual handles and blades themselves I have no issue with. Primarily I wanted the larger handle for specific tasks but the smaller aluminium types are also useful. There's an assortment of different blades that are handily held in the lid portion. Even the largest blade in the set fits in the lower part of the case without having to remove the blade. Note that the blades only fit the relevant handle. Those blades for the large handle having a wider base to the blade. The case itself is compact and does it's job of keeping everything together. However, that compact nature is also the reason for not getting 5 stars. For anyone with large hands (read that as most male adults), it is very hard to get the smaller blade handle out of the case without finding something to lever it out. Even the middle size would be fiddly if you don't have decent fingernails. You could remove the larger two to get better access to the small one, but that's just a faff nobody needs. A better option would be to loop a cable tie over the blade handle to give yourself a way to pull the knife free. I went a step further and printed a couple of removable grips for the two smaller handles. I mention these as they are not items the set came with. The only other potential niggle with the case is that the indents in the lid for the spare blades are pre shaped. It could be awkward for someone who only uses one type of blade. All that said, a nice set in a compact box. Worth the money? Yes. It's just a shame about how snug that smaller blades sits to the case, making removal less than ideal.

product arrived promptly and works as designed

This review is a while on from when I bought them originally. Bought these as a starter set of knives to clean up my miniatures for painting. The handles aren't that bad - however if you get sweaty hands or use them with less grip they do become difficult to use. The different blade edges are really useful to cut/scrape different parts of the models. The case is nice although the blades in the lid typically don't like to stay put and move along the magnetic strip however this doesn't bother me too much as they don't become loose and fall around the case. I've also been using this for cutting Lino and it works a treat. Good for people needing a set in a tight budget, would definitely recommend.

I’ve never bought something like this before so wasn’t sure how easy it’d be to use or what the quality would be like. Really pleased, as I needed something to cut my own stencils for up my upcycling projects, and it has a specific blade for this so was very easy to use. Now it’s a really handy tool to have for other projects as there’s a great variety of blades. Seems good quality too.

Very well made and packaged. Feels very premium
