Types of Craft Knife
Top - The "Stanley" knife. This is very strong but the blade is too thick for the fine work of dolls house furniture.
Centre - Sturdy handle with fine cutting but rigid blade. Ideal for dolls house furniture.
Bottom - The scalpel is thin and flexible and will easily break under pressure. Unsuitable for dolls house furniture.


Craft Knife Blades
Left - Angled blade - Useful for cutting thick timber.

Centre - Chisel blade - It does what it says but not generally used for making dolls house furniture.

Right - Angled blade - Best shape for cutting and the only one that I use for dolls house furniture.
