Utility knives are common tools widely used in various crafts and DIY projects. The basic use is simple and direct. You need to hold the handle and make sure your fingers are away from the blade. Then you can use the blade for cutting, carving, scraping, etc.
In basic use, the blade of the utility knife is very sharp, so you need to be extra careful to avoid cutting yourself or damaging the material. In addition, regularly clean and maintain the blade to keep its sharpness and durability. II. Intermediate Skills 1. Oblique cutting technique: When you need to make an oblique cut or carve, you can adjust the angle of the utility knife, making the blade inclined, so that it can be easier to complete the job. 2. Straight cutting technique: Use a ruler or template as an auxiliary tool, put the utility knife on the ruler and cut along the straight edge to get a straight cutting line. 3. Drawing technique: If you need to draw lines or shapes on paper, you can gently slide the tip of the knife along the direction you want to draw, for preliminary marking and sketching. III. Advanced Skills1. Multi-layer cutting technique: When cutting multiple layers of materials such as multilayer paper or foam board, you can gently insert the tip of the utility knife into the gap between the layers to make more accurate cuts.
2. Fine carving technique: By finely adjusting your hand posture and force, you can use the tip of the utility knife to perform detailed carving work. 3. Using accessories for assistance: Purchasing some special accessories such as extension rods or handles can further improve the efficiency and convenience of using utility knives. These accessories can help you more easily complete tasks that are difficult to operate with your hands directly. IV. Safety Precautions No matter what kind of work you are doing with a utility knife, safety should always be your top priority. Keep your hands away from the cutting path of the blade at all times. After using the utility knife, make sure to close its protective cover or put it in a safe place. If you feel tired or uncomfortable during use, stop working and take a break for a while.
