precision knife

Fine cutting tool

A precision knife is a cutting tool with a fine, sharp blade designed for detailed work requiring accuracy and control.

The blade is typically small and replaceable, mounted in a pen-like handle.

Craft hobbyists use precision knives for cutting paper, cardboard, and thin materials; surgeons use specialized versions called scalpels.
