I have the SPN-120s, and they're really nice to use, super clean cuts compared to the USAGS single blades I have. The blade is noticeably more fragile feeling than others, tho, and you need to make sure you don't cut think gates with them, and maybe avoid cutting clear PS pieces as well.

I got my son a pair of GH-KPN-95s as well, still cuts very well for a single-blade, but has rounded tips and a more kid-friendly grip. It leaves a touch of gate behind too, so if you usually come back with a hobby knife or glass file/sand it, I think it works well for that.

Yeah, saw many scary warnings to avoid clear plastics. Had me wondering about use of cheap ones for when people might be feeling a bit more adventurous for harder plastics over risking their expensive God Hands.

I typically use my USAGS pair for “rough” work, like clear plastic or cutting gates, then use the godhand for closer to the part to trim off the leftover. I’ve had my set for 3 years or so now, and no issues.
