    Style C

    A pen-style handle gives you a comfortable hold as you make precise cuts with the sharp blade on these knives. All have a knurled or ribbed grip to prevent them from slipping out of your fingers, so you can make cuts confidently. When you’re not using these knives, cover their blade with the protective cap to prevent accidental cuts. Replacement safety caps are available.
    Ceramic Blade—Ceramic blades stay sharp up to 10 times longer than metal blades.
    Style A—The protective cap on Style A is attached so you won’t lose it.
    Style C—Use Style C when making extremely small cuts and creating intricate shapes.

    These lightweight knives have a handle that’s easy to grasp, so they won’t slip from your grip when applying pressure.
    Ceramic Blade—Knives with ceramic blades won’t rust or conduct electricity, so they can be used in applications where metal blades can’t. They also stay sharp longer than metal blades, but because they’re more brittle, they’re easier to break.
    Style A—Style A knives have a finger hole in their handle for a secure grip. They come with a protective cap to prevent accidental cuts when they’re not in use.
    Style B—Style B knives have a straight fluted handle.

    Fast-Cutting Ultrasonic Precision Knives

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Precision Knives. Fast-Cutting Ultrasonic Precision Knives.
    With a blade that oscillates over 40,000 times per second—faster than you can see or feel—these knives make fast, clean, and precise cuts in a variety of material. Use them to remove supports from 3D printed objects, shape printed circuit boards, and sculpt custom spacers, gaskets, and parts of all kinds.
    These knives are faster than manual precision-blade knives and scalpels. Unlike hot-blade knives, they do not require a heat source and won't melt, burn, or crack your material. They're also less costly and easier to set up than laser cutters.
    Since they have a momentary switch, press and hold the button on the handle to turn them on. They turn off when you let go of the button for safety. The contoured handle makes them easy to hold as you apply pressure.
    A rechargeable battery means you can bring these knives anywhere you need. They also include a pack of 40 replacement blades.
