Left-Handed Blade One Nipper is an entry-level single-blade nipper designed specifically for left-handed modellers! Left-Handed Blade One nipper has a thicker blade than Ultimate Nipper, resulting in a slightly pressed cutting surface on the cutting board side, but it is sturdier due to the thickness of the blade. Single-edged blade structure enables the same usage as Ultimate Nipper. The blade angle is adjusted to make the blade more durable than that of the Ultimate Nipper. While Ultimate Nipper can cut transparent plastic up to 1 mm dia., Left-Handed Blade One Nipper can cut transparent plastic up to 2 mm dia. The cut comfort is slightly heavier than Ultimate Nipper, but there is almost no difference in the cut surface in slice-cutting.
