Tamiya 74111 Handy Craft Saw II is a compact hobby saw fitted with two interchangeable blades made from SK95 carbon tool steel, each 0.35 mm thick. The wide blade measures 46 mm and handles broader cuts through plastic sprues and runners, while the 43 mm narrow blade reaches tighter areas and produces finer kerfs. A knurled metal chuck secures whichever blade is in use, and a vinyl storage case keeps the spare blade protected between jobs.
Both blades are SK95 carbon tool steel, 0.35 mm thick.
Wide blade 46 mm, narrow blade 43 mm.
Includes a vinyl blade storage case.
Made in Japan.

Notes · Q & A
What blade shape should I use for miniatures — #10 or #11?+
The #11 pointed blade is the default for trimming mould lines and fine cuts. The curved #10 belly suits slicing and scraping over larger areas. Most modellers keep an #11 in the handle and swap shapes as the job needs.
When should I change a blade?+
The moment it drags, tears plastic instead of slicing, or needs pressure to start a cut. A blunt blade slips and causes most knife injuries, and blades are far cheaper than the finger you save. Snap old ones into a sealed tin.
What's a razor saw for that a knife can't do?+
A razor saw removes thick sprue gates, cuts resin blocks and separates parts too chunky to slice cleanly. Its fine kerf leaves a flat face with minimal material loss, where a knife would slip or wander on a thick section.
How do I scrape mould lines rather than cut them?+
Hold the blade at 90 degrees to the surface and draw it backwards, shaving the raised line in light passes. Scraping controls depth far better than cutting and leaves a smooth surface that needs little or no sanding.
