1、 Recommendation for acrylic carving knives



Blade

Choosing a durable and sturdy blade will make your operation smoother. Generally speaking, stainless steel blade is more suitable for carving acrylic materials because it has good corrosion resistance and hardness< Br/>


Knife head

According to different carving requirements, we can choose different sizes of blade heads. For works with more details, we need to choose smaller blade sizes, such as 0.1mm, 0.2mm, etc. If large-scale carving is required, it is necessary to choose a larger blade. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the load-bearing capacity of the blade, which should be strong enough to prevent breakage during use< Br/>


Grip

The grip of the acrylic carving knife is also very important. If the grip is too light, it can cause finger fatigue and give up halfway. We can choose a grip with anti slip design to improve operational stability< Br/>


Price

The price and quality of acrylic carving knives are closely related. Generally speaking, acrylic carving knives with higher prices have better performance and service life. But for beginners, we don't need to spend a lot of money on high-end acrylic carving knives. On the contrary, we can choose cutting tools with moderate prices and good quality. In this way, we can discover our own needs in practice and gradually upgrade our tools< Br/>
