GODHAND Ultimate Nipper 5.0

Ultimate Nipper 5.0

The ultimate ultra-thin single-edge nipper is designed for the ultimate cutting experience, with a strong focus on gate cutting. When sliding through a 3 mm diameter runner, the blade glides smoothly, completing the cut silently and effortlessly. Its sharp cutting edge delivers an exceptionally smooth cut surface, akin to that achieved with a design knife, while significantly minimising plastic whitening - a common issue where the cut section turns white. 

Compared to most nippers, the cut surface produced by this nipper is much cleaner and neater, which makes it an ideal  choice for modellers who prefer to complete plastic models without the need for painting. For those who do paint their models, the smooth and clean cutting surface ensures that even when the blade cuts along the part without leaving a gate. Hence, the time required for gate processing with files or knives is greatly reduced. 

When cutting out small parts, this nipper minimises the risk of parts flying away, reducing the hassle of searching for missing components. The standard force for cutting 3 mm diameter plastic is 2 kg or less, which typically require between 3.5 kg to 10 kg of force. 

Features

- Ultra-thin cutting edge and single-edge structure for a clean cutting
- Created one by one through blade edging and sharpening by well-experienced craftspersons in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, a region famous for its cutlery.

- Single-edged blade structure refers to a design in which one side of the blade is a cutting blade, and the other side is a cutting board blade. The blade is named ‘single-edged’ because only one blade (cutting edge) cuts on one side.

Cutting Capacity
- Target materials: Plastic (PS resin, PP resin, ABS resin, PE resin) only
- Cutting capacity: Materials of < 3 mm dia. However, transparent and translucent PS resins are limited to < 1 mm dia for hardness.
