Which hobby blade should I choose for general model work?
The #11 fine point is the most versatile for plastics, paper, and decals. For scoring or paring, add a #16 or #17 chisel style.

Are these blades compatible with standard hobby knife handles?
Yes. Blades follow standard profiles (#11, #16, #17, etc.) and fit matching hobby handles. Verify shank size on each product page.

Should I buy carbon steel or stainless hobby blades?
Choose carbon steel for the sharpest edge and fine detail. Pick stainless for corrosion resistance and when cutting adhesive-backed materials.
