Slice 10518 Ceramic Craft Knife Cutting Blades, Ceramic, Finger Friendly, Rounded Tip, Lasts 11x Longer than Metal

Love these slice tools! Last a long time and work really well for my art projects!

Nice

Although these go dull rather quickly when you're using them on drafting film, they work quite well. It's always good to have a few extra blades handy when you're drawing everyday. I tried using the slightly bulkier Slice cutting tool, but could not maneuver it in my hands. I found that the more slender and longer craft knife by slice works much better for me. I think this is because my fingers are long and skinny and my hands are very big.

I’m a collage artist and I always reach for my Slice blades when I want to cut thicker material. It’s harder to get right up against the edge for more detailed cuts (hence the 4 stars), but it’s still soooo much easier to work with than the standard #11 metal blades I use for thinner materials like LIFE magazines.

Excellent blades when it comes to sharpness longevity and non-conductive use with electrical equipment. **HOWEVER** - Please be very careful *not* to bend the blades, or apply pressure sideways (as in, trying to pry something open) -- this may cause the extremely brittle ceramic material to shatter, which is //NOT// a pleasant experience and could potentially put an eye out. This is common sense advice, I know, but it never hurts to hear (or read) a reminder.

Does not cut skin like metal blades, but performs awesome on tape, boxes, and balsa.

I like this brand, cut things easily for my arts and craft stuff.

They don't seem as sharp as the ceramic blades they include when you buy a whole knife.
