Performance notes
The high carbon steel blade is the standout here, since that steel takes a sharp edge well for model-making, crafts and detail trimming. The plastic handle keeps weight down at the tool, while the 10.08-ounce overall weight points to a packaged kit. The listed 2.5-inch length refers to the blade rather than the whole tool.
