Trim small decals and masking shapes with a narrow blade
The 74020 is aimed at small trimming work such as decals and masking tape. Its narrow angled blade is the practical reason to compare it with a medium model-making knife: choose the profile that can reach the shape you need to cut, rather than choosing only by the number of spare blades.
The description identifies thirty spare blades and a protective cap; a bullet also describes a case for used blades. The Knife PRO is the more relevant comparison when you want curved and chisel profiles supplied with the handle. Replacement-blade compatibility is model-specific unless the supplier explicitly confirms otherwise.
