Hobby Knife Burl

[qquake]

This is a PSI Bolt Action Hobby Knife in chrome. The wood is locust tree burl. The finish is Pens Plus. This is actually my second, I broke the first one during assembly. Be very careful if you make one of these, and follow the assembly instructions to the letter.

These look really cool. Are those blades easy to find for replacement? They look much narrower than the standard Exacto sizes.

They are narrower, and they have a notch. Amazon has them.

Interesting... So, this is actually a kit specifically designed as a retractable hobby knife?

Love the burl, by the way. Beautiful.

I would guess so, since the blades already existed.

Cool Knife. It's nice that it is retractable. I usually find an old Bic Stic with a plastic cap and jam the cap over the end of my Xacto knifes, otherwise I'm sure I would stab myself when I reach into my junk drawer. - You've been very busy lately! - Dave
