When trying to slice and cut the 3mm runner, the blade will move freely and smoothly without any noise. We have continually improved our tools to work efficiently, easily, and pleasantly by adding new function, feature and performance. Bob Dylan asked a similar but less interesting question about life, peace and growing up in the 1960s. The Ultimate Nipper's amazing sharpness is achieved by the thinly sharpened "cutting edge" and the "single-edge structure" for a cleaner cut.

They’re not a cheap option because the mechanism must be precision manufactured, and the blade tempered to be strong enough to carry out the task required of it.This does most of the grunt work in getting your pieces off the sprues, leaving a generous amount of gate to go back in on with the GodHand. If you look closely you can also see where the Ultimate Nippers also managed to cut so closely to the surface that they shaved a portion of the flashing off of the part. They have nice high quality textured handles and the opening and closing movement just feels smooth and effortless. They are made from PS and hard ABS plastic and feature a very detailed design that can also easily be painted for an even more detailed look.

But their PN-120 nippers are equally popular among beginner model builders, as their blades are slightly stronger, and easier to handle. Since the GODHAND PN120 Nipper is a single-edged nipper, it has a blade and a blunt end that holds it in place. So, if it’s a birthday, Christmas or just can’t find that perfect item then purchasing one of our E-Gift cards is the option for you. Ultra-thin “cutting edge” is created one by one by a well experienced craftsmanship in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata prefecture, Japan.

Compared to ordinary nippers, the cutting marks are much cleaner, so it is recommended for those who want to complete plastic models without painting. Usually, when I cut pieces out of the sprue, I leave a small nub that I can then cut off with an X-Acto knife.

I had been chatting to Lisa, my delightfully helpful contact at The Airbrush Company, and had seen a member of this forum mentioning the Japanese Brand Godhand, and after a little hemming and hawing (possibly 2-3 seconds max) asked her to send one over for inspection. The cut comfort is slightly heavier than Ultimate Nipper, but there is almost no difference in the cut surface in slice cutting. Digimon Adventure (Japanese: デジモンアドベンチャー, Hepburn: Dejimon Adobenchā), known as Digimon: Digital Monsters[4] in English-speaking territories, is a 1999 Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation in cooperation with WiZ, Bandai and Fuji Television. Compared to most nippers, the cut surface is much cleaner and neater, which makes it a good choice for those who want to complete plastic models without painting.When the cutting edge and the cutting board edge are not aligned, it will result in an unclean cut and possible chipping and breaking of the blades. When these cutters finally become dull I'll make another post giving my impression of the tool in terms of it's entire life cycle. This blog is mainly to collect Zoids, things that remind me of my TF OCs, stuff I like and random shit that makes me laugh. Using the basic cutter for the initial cuts and the GODHAND Nipper for the finishing cuts will keep its blades from wearing out or going blunt too quickly, and since the initial cuts don’t need as much precision as finishing cuts, you can use your basic cutter however you want without worrying about ruining the blade’s edge. The maximum diameter of cut should be 3mm, so don’t try to cut up the sprue runners with your precious tool, but keep an old pair of nippers nearby for the task.
