Modelcraft No.18 Straight-Edge Chiselling Blades

The Modelcraft PKN2718 pack contains five No.18 straight-edge chiselling blades for modelling, craft and hobby work. Each blade is razor sharp and sturdy enough to handle harder woods, while also supporting fast, precise cutting in lightweight materials.

The No.18 blade fits No.2 medium-duty hobby knives and No.5 plastic-handled craft knives. It is designed for chiselling medium-duty materials and can also be used with paper, plastic, balsa, film and acetate.

Five straight-edge blades included

Each pack provides five matching No.18 blades. Their straight cutting edge creates a focused profile for chiselling and precise cutting tasks where a curved or fine-point blade would provide a different type of contact.

• Pack of five No.18 blades
• Straight-edge chiselling profile
• Razor-sharp cutting edge
• Sturdy enough for harder woods
• Designed for medium-duty materials
• Fits No.2 and No.5 knife handles
• Modelcraft reference PKN2718

Having five blades in the pack provides a consistent supply of the same straight-edge profile. This is practical for projects where the No.18 blade is regularly selected for chiselling or accurate cutting.

For wood and lightweight materials

The blade has the strength required to work with harder woods, providing a useful chiselling option for demanding material within its intended range.

It is also suitable for fast, precise cutting of lightweight materials such as paper, plastic, balsa, film and acetate. This combination makes the No.18 profile versatile across model making, crafts and general hobby projects.

Fits No.2 and No.5 knife handles

Modelcraft No.18 blades are designed for use with a No.2 medium-duty hobby knife and a No.5 plastic-handled craft knife. These handle formats support the straight-edge blade during medium-duty chiselling and cutting tasks.

The blades are also compatible with other brands, including X-ACTO, providing additional flexibility when a suitable handle is already available. With five blades supplied, the pack offers a convenient way to keep replacements ready for continued work.
