This knife is very very sharp, so be extremely careful because it doesn't come with a blade guard or cap, and the body is cylindrical, which means it WILL roll around if you're not careful. I made my own cap out of some foam I had lying around. I primarily use this to trim away flash or cut masking tape while on the model. I find that the grip on the body is good, but not great. That's not a problem because the blade is so sharp you hardly have to exert any force for it to cut.
