Modelcraft No.17 Chiselling Blades

The Modelcraft PKN1717 pack contains five No.17 chiselling blades for removing fine layers and performing detailed work on delicate craft materials. Each blade has a thin profile with a straight, razor-sharp edge, creating a focused tool for precise material removal.

Designed for use with a No.1 craft knife, the blade is ideal for working with woods such as balsa. It can also be used with linoleum, plastics and other suitable craft materials.

Five straight-edge blades included

Each pack provides five matching No.17 blades. Their slim chiselling profile is designed to make controlled contact with the working surface, supporting fine detail and the removal of thin layers.

Having five blades in the pack provides a consistent supply of the same straight-edge profile. This is practical for projects where the No.17 blade is regularly selected for careful chiselling and close-detail work.

For balsa, linoleum and plastic

The blade is ideal for working with balsa and other woods where fine layers need to be removed. Its thin, straight profile also supports detailed shaping and refinement on delicate sections.

Linoleum and plastics are included within its suitable material range, expanding the blade’s use across model making, craft and hobby projects. The No.17 profile provides a specialised alternative to curved or fine-point cutting blades.

Fits No.1 craft knife handles

Modelcraft No.17 blades are designed for use with No.1 craft knife handles. This popular handle format supports several blade types, with the No.17 providing the dedicated straight chiselling option for fine-layer removal and detailed work.

The blades are also compatible with other brands, including X-ACTO, providing additional flexibility when a suitable No.1 handle is already available. With five blades supplied, the pack keeps replacements ready for continued use.
