Excel Blades Fit Grip Craft Knife 3-Pack With #11 Ultra-Sharp Carbon Steel Angled Blade – Precision Hobby Knife with Contoured Rubberized Grip for DIY, Art Crafts – Assorted Colors, Made in the USA

Finally found a craft knife that has a comfortable handle! Blade sharp!

At first, I thought I would go with an Exacto knife, but upon considerable research, I found that this brand could be much bettter - and I was correct. Be sure to buy a box of replacement blades. Very precise, and very - sharp, truly sharp, though not nearly as sharp as Gem/Star single-edge, scientific, razor blades. Of course, these blades are intended for craft work, I presume, and not for making thin slices for microscopic work.

I have arthritis in my hands which can at times affect my ability to grip or hold items. The handle on this knife makes it so much easier for me to grip. I’m able to hold the knife and control my cuts with confidence.

I do a lot, A LOT of crafting, cutting, collaging. These are my go-to knives. The soft ergonomic design doesn't fatigue my hands like most harder blade holders. I'm not impressed with the fancy ergonomic shaped knives that some companies have tried to put out. They just complicate my muscle memory.

These as all Excel products I have tried are great quality, fit the hand great and are a great price as I paid less for three knifes here then I could get one at a local hobby shop. I still purchase a lot of stuff local but some items are just to cheap on the net.

The tightening nut is at the rear where you never touch it as you use the knife. The other brand has a front nut that loosens constantly. The rubberized contoured grip is much more comfortable than a straight gnurled grip. The flat cutouts in the side prevent it from rolling off a desk. It also comes with a cap that fits securely enough that I wouldn't hesitate to carry it in a bag or backpack.Tip: the tightening threads were a bit gritty when I got mine so I disassembled it, squirted graphite powder in the threaded tube, and worked it around. Now it's so buttery smooth I don't need to hold the blade because it doesn't rotate as I tighten it

I have used craft knives for over 50 years and wished I had had this knife long ago, it’s such a great product! The grip is so nice for my old hands, and the design (with the blade tightener on the bottom) means no more blades that get loose during use. Its not pricey, but even if it was, I’d buy it again (because I think my husband is going to steal mine).

I have larger hands, so holding a typical hobby knife while cutting masks for custom painting can become wearing. These have a larger ergonomic design and are easier to control.
