Accurate Trimming with the Tamiya 74040

Model builders who focus on neat finishes will find the Tamiya 74040 Modeler's Knife a helpful addition to their bench. It blends a keen blade with a comfortable profile so you can make small, exact cuts with confidence.

What Makes This Knife Stand Out

The Tamiya 74040 Modeler's Knife is compact yet capable, featuring a finely ground blade suited to delicate tasks. Measuring 140mm in length with a 9mm diameter, it fits the hand for controlled movements. With a blade thickness of 0.45mm, it slices cleanly through common modelling materials without excessive force.

Practical Uses in the Workshop

Use this knife to remove flash from sprues, refine balsa shapes, or neaten decal edges on RC kits. Its precision is useful for beginners learning clean cuts as well as for veteran modellers working on detailed projects.

The knife handles plastic, balsa wood and thin sheet materials commonly used in RC modelling. Harder or thicker materials may need different tools.
Blade life depends on use and material. Light trimming will keep the blade sharper longer; replace blades when cuts become ragged.
Support the part on a cutting mat, use multiple light passes instead of heavy cuts, and rotate the piece rather than forcing the blade into tight corners.
