The #11 replacement blades (PKN1711) are sharp precision blades designed for hobby knives and precision handles. This set of 5 blades is ideal for accurate cutting, trimming, and detailing tasks on miniatures, model parts, and other fine materials.
What are #11 blades? These are narrow, pointed blades with a sharp angled tip, specifically developed for precision work. The fine point allows you to make controlled cuts in tight spaces and handle delicate details with accuracy. Because of this, #11 blades are a standard choice in model building, miniature painting, and various craft applications where precision is essential.
Why use #11 blades? The main advantage is the combination of sharpness and control. The blade shape makes it suitable for both straight cuts and intricate detail work. For example, you can remove mold lines from miniatures, cut decals to size, refine plastic kit parts, or shape cardboard and paper for terrain projects. The sharp tip allows you to work with minimal force, reducing the risk of damaging the material.
How do you use these replacement blades? Simply insert the blade into a compatible hobby knife or precision handle and secure it firmly. When cutting, apply light pressure and let the blade do the work rather than forcing it through the material. For best results, use multiple light passes instead of a single deep cut. This improves accuracy and gives you better control, especially when working on fine details.
These blades are highly versatile across different hobby disciplines. Miniature painters use them to clean mold lines and imperfections before priming and painting. Model builders rely on them for modifying and refining kit components, including plastic and resin parts. They are also very useful for scratchbuilding and terrain creation, such as cutting foam, thin plastic sheets, or cardboard. Thanks to their precision, they are equally suitable for paper crafts and light creative work.
The set includes 5 blades, offering a practical balance between availability and freshness. Keeping your blade sharp is important for both safety and accuracy. A fresh blade cuts more cleanly and reduces the need for excessive force, lowering the risk of slips or uneven cuts. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced hobbyist, having spare blades on hand is essential for maintaining consistent results.
Who are these blades for? Beginners benefit from the ease of use and improved control when starting out with hobby knives. More advanced users will appreciate the precision and reliability during complex detailing and conversion work. In both cases, #11 blades are a core consumable tool in any modelling or miniature setup.
The technical details are clear and straightforward:
If you need reliable, sharp blades for detailed cutting work, these #11 replacement blades offer a dependable and versatile solution for a wide range of hobby applications.
