Review on πŸ”ͺ Fiskars 163050-1001 Fingertip Craft Knife: Efficient 7 Inch Blade in Vibrant Orange by Gelin Battle

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Suitable for those with arthritis or those who spend long hours at the model workbench.

I've been modeling for decades. A few years ago I spent several hours carving the details of a small HO scale clapboard structure using methods pioneered by George Sellios of Fine Scale Miniatures. I even added nail holes with a needle. Not long after, I saw an ink pen meant for people with arthritis. I immediately saw the possibility of adapting it to a sculpting knife, but I couldn't bring myself to "borrow" this handle from my elderly mother with arthritis, even though she offered to give it to me. Years later I found this product while looking for an ergonomic modeling knife and ordered two in case I lost one. I haven't yet attempted the agonizing task of detailing the hull structure to HO scale, but when I do I know I'll have the perfect tool for the task. Also, the knife is from Fiskars, so the quality is excellent.

Pros
  • Crafts and sewing
Cons
  • Disappearance
