First, basic cutting. In the process of making many handicrafts, the most basic and important step is cutting. The utility knife can accurately and quickly complete this step, whether it is cutting cardboard, wood, cloth, or plastic materials. It is very important for any handmade works that require precise cutting and accurate size.
Second, detailed carving. The utility knife is not just a simple cutting tool. Its blade is also very suitable for detailed carving. For example, when making wooden models or decorations, you can use the utility knife to perform detailed carving and carving lines to create the pattern or shape you want. Even in some complex paper origami arts, the utility knife is also needed to complete the final exquisite decoration. Third, punching and picking needles. In some handmade activities, punching is a common requirement. The sharp edge of the utility knife can be used to easily complete this step. And the tip of the utility knife can also be used as a picking needle for carefully threading line heads in knitting or crochet work. Fourth, cooperation with other tools. In handmade crafts, it often requires the use of multiple tools to achieve the best results. The utility knife can be used together with pencils and erasers to create precise sketches in painting; or mark the part to be cut with a pencil and then use a utility knife to accurately complete it. In addition, it can also be combined with tools such as hammers to assist in some heavy-duty cutting and peeling work. Fifth, innovative applications. Besides the basic applications mentioned above, there are endless innovative applications of utility knives in handmade crafts. For example, you can try using a utility knife to write on ceramic or draw on it; or use it to decorate the edges of wooden products, etc. With creativity and imagination, the utility knife can always bring surprises and fun.
