This is not just any Japanese knife. The 30-year-old NT Cutter A-300 has an ingenious automatic braking system, no sliding or twisting to lock the row of shear blades. You can cut with surgical precision and use it to pick up small pieces or hold them when glueing. Because designing in 3D is sketching in 3D. Sometimes room-sized maquettes, more often tiny trinket models. Whether they are made of wood, cardboard, blue Styrofoam, or thin, discarded aluminium offset printing plates, a Japanese knife is indispensable.
