Hi Mark,

Do not buy the Tamiya one, for sure. It's good for trenches à la Matchbox, and cutting through plastic, but nothing else.

Besides the sharp-pointed needle in a pin vise, for some circular engravings, my main goto scriber comes brom UMM-USA.

I also have some nice ones (black thin circular handle with a fine hook-like tip), but I cannot remember the manufacturer ...

The very thin saws, like my JLC set, are also useful for some engravings.

Hubert

x2. This is the one I use most. https://umm-usa.com/onlinestore/product_info.php?cPath=21_105&products_id=474&osCsid=801e04bc649cf59760c0234a3c7518b1

I do like Dspaie Tools, I believe they do scribes but haven’t tried them. My collection of their tools is getting larger they are well engineered….IMHO…

I have a couple of the UMM ones, but this one is my favorite as well.

Hubert, just curious which Tamiya scriber you have? 

I use a Trumpeter one that looks like a hook, a really old Tritool one that's a pointy looking thing and razor saws.
