Citadel Tools: Knife

Every hobbyist needs a proper knife, and the Citadel Hobby Knife is built for the job. With a sculpted hard-plastic handle and a sharp, fine blade, it cleans mould lines, trims sprue gates and carves conversions with the kind of control a snapped-off craft blade never gives you. It's the everyday cutting tool that lives next to your cutters and gets used on every single kit.
