High-Quality Steel Burin

Scribing panel lines by hand with a craft knife is a gamble. The tip wanders, the depth comes out uneven, and one slip ruins the part right before paint. A proper burin fixes that: the blade tracks straight and holds a consistent depth, so your lines stay crisp and read clean once you wash them in.

Each blade is made from High-Speed Steel (HSS 2.3), hardened to 60–63 HRC — sharp and durable enough to cut clean through plastic without dulling or chipping. The blades are mirror-finished and laser-marked with their size, so you always grab the right width at a glance.

What you can do with it:

• Scribe and re-scribe panel lines on scale models and Gunpla
• Deepen recessed lines before a panel-line wash
• Clean up and sharpen surface detail
• Cut cleanly through ABS and other model plastics
• Also handy for sculpting and light detail work

Specs:

• Blade material: High-Speed Steel (HSS 2.3), hardness 60–63 HRC
• Handle material: aluminum alloy, knurled for a secure no-slip grip
• Total length: 125 mm
• Mirror-finished, laser-marked size on every blade

Sizes: available in 8 widths, from a hairline 0.15 mm up to a wide 3.0 mm. The finer blades (0.15–1.0 mm) cut clean engraved lines; the wider 2.0 mm and 3.0 mm act as push knives for opening and widening grooves.

Which one should you get?

• Just trying scribing out? Grab a single blade — 0.2 mm is a great width to start with for panel lines — and add more as your builds need them.
• Starter — 0.2 + 0.4 mm: the two most-used panel-line widths paired up, so you can cover most of a build from day one.
• Fine Detail — 0.2 / 0.4 / 0.6 / 0.8 mm: the full panel-line range from fine to medium — a serious kit without stepping up to the complete set.
• Want every width covered? The full "All 8 Sizes" set is the best value — it costs less than buying all eight blades separately, and you'll never be missing the size you need mid-build.
