Hello friends!! I wanted to share something I found for cutting parts off the sprues, the Logan Model 500 Mat Knife. It is intended for cutting picture framing mats, the thin blade works very well at cutting the parts off sprue closely, with almost no nib. The knife comes with a double ended blade that is quite a bit thinner than a #11 blade, the vinyl handle fits comfortably in my hand and the blade retracts when not in use. Please believe me when I say this blade is SHARP!
I purchased mine at Hobby Lobby for about $9.95 USD, they regularly have a 40% off coupon, making this a must have at the bench!
While I can't take credit for this tip, I thought it useful enough to pass along. Happy modeling!!
