KB4-R

My favorite blade! Just one problem, they are $$$. Guess what? It is possible to re-sharpen these to (better than original) razor sharp! I used only the (older ver. finer than newer ver.) pink very fine stone from a Lansky sharpener, with the 17° angle. It is tricky to get the blade clamped so that it sticks out enough that the stone will not hit the clamp (may need to use shims to secure in Lansky's holder). But very little force is required to sharpen. In fact, as little as possible (to avoid bending the blade and messing up the angle). One you get it in position, and clamp it real tight, a total of about 10-20 very light strokes w/ oil alternating each side and making sure to cover the whole edge will get it sharp enough to make hairs from your arm simply pop off and flee for their lives. I did this to a blade that had been used to scrape glue off the rough surface of broken ceramic, so it was severely dulled. But it came back to good as or better than new! Now that I know this can be re-sharpened, I think I will use it a lot more.

This blade was very sharp, and just what I needed.

I really like using a curved blade. Using a straight blade means you only have one cutting surface to use. When that part is dull, you must replace the whole blade - what a waste! It does take a little extra effort to rock the blade as you cut, but they will last a LOT longer. I know it's not like saving money on a new car, but every penny saved is, well, next to worthless. But hey, it's the thought that counts, right? Try them once, I'll bet you don't go back!

These are top-notched blades. I use a lot of hardwoods when building scaled wooden ships and they will still hold a shape edge after others have gone dull. They may be expensive, but you get what you paid for. They will last a very, very long time before needing replacement.

Delivery was right on time, but be careful ! I have used many replaceable blades in my scale modeling hobby, but this blade in particular is the SHARPEST I have ever used. Even sharper than Olfa's own pointed #11 style blade. The sharpness helps you cut very accurately. Highly recommended.

Perfect product. I easily changed my old tarnished and dull blade out of my knife and off to work. The packaging is perfect and with no wasted materials. As I expected, being made in Japan.

Absurdly sharp and clean cutting!

Great blade! I like the curve and the sharpness. OLFA seems to make really excellent blades and handles. So glad I got them!

Como usuario del mango Olfa AK-4 para modelismo, he intentado ahorrar comprando cuchillas genéricas compatibles. Al final siempre vuelvo a las originales KB4. La diferencia en la calidad del acero es abismal. Si haces trabajos finos donde un resbalón arruina la maqueta, necesitas esto. Lo que me ha gustado (Calidad Quirúrgica): -El Filo: Vienen afiladas a un nivel casi peligroso. Cortan el plástico (poliestireno) sin apenas hacer presión. Esto es vital: al no tener que apretar, no se te escapa el bisturí y no rayas la maqueta. -Durabilidad: Una cuchilla china pierde la punta a los 10 minutos de tocar plástico duro. Estas Olfa aguantan sesiones enteras de trabajo manteniendo la punta intacta. A la larga, usas muchas menos. -La Cuchilla Cincel (KB4-F): Si usas la variante plana (tipo cincel/pala), es magia pura. Funciona como una micro-gubia para "afeitar" líneas de molde en superficies planas sin crear hoyos, algo imposible con una cuchilla en punta normal. Lo que NO me ha gustado (Contras): -El Precio: Son caras. No hay vuelta de hoja. Pagas la importación y la calidad japonesa. -El envase: Vienen en una cajita de plástico que a veces cuesta abrir sin que salgan volando. Abre con cuidado. Consejo de Modelista: No tires las "gastadas": Cuando ya no cortan papel limpiamente o la punta se ha redondeado un poco, guárdalas en un bote aparte. Siguen siendo perfectas para tareas "sucias" como extender masilla (putty), raspar pegamento seco o cortar cinta de enmascarar sobre el tapete. Conclusión: El motor de un Ferrari no funciona con gasolina barata. Si tienes el mango AK-4, estas son las cuchillas que le hacen justicia. Para precisión extrema y para usar la técnica del cincelado, no hay sustituto barato que valga.

I think this it's important. I recibed 5 blades kit. I dont saw this notice in the ofert. Very good news
