Slice 10518 Craft Knife, Finger-Friendly Edge, Safer Choice, Never Rusts, Lasts 11x Longer Than Metal, Precision Cutting, Never-Lost Safety Cap

I purchased this craft knife to use for creating fine lines when creating colored pencils on drafting film. Using the edge (not the sharp part), the pencil color can be gently removed for crisp fine lines where needed. Replacement blades in various shapes and thicknesses are available, too. It has a slide down sleeve to cover the blade when not in use that can be slid up and turned to stay in place when using. I had previously purchased one that you had to keep a button pressed down to use and the design of this one is SO much better and more comfortable to use. I'm sure it has many other uses but it's Fabulous for using in colored pencil drawings on drafting film!

I picked up the fine tip seam ripper blades to use with this handle. As expected of a craft knife, the blades are held rigidly for precision control in a non-magnetic housing. The sleeve doesn't always stay locked in either position but I don't worry about it popping off like the xacto knife cap.

ceramic blades are sharp and tough, don't rust, washable. This model comes with an easy-to-use safety shroud, has comfortable grip

I really love this blade! Cuts easily and is lightweight. My ONLY complaint is the orange safety shield. You can move it back out of the way but it doesn't lock into place, so it'll try to get in my way as I work. I ended up pulling it off completely...

Very nice 10/10

Its a fantastic tool!

I wanted this to be the solution to all my teacher problems... I love that the cap is built-in so my students don't lose them. However, these do not cut cardboard as cleanly or easily as I had hoped. My students are struggling to use them and we have snapped 3 blades in only one week of school. With the high cost of replacement, I do not think these are a viable solution for use in the classroom. I love that they are less likely to cut fingers, but I cannot keep up with the broken blades. This would work much better on paper or for at-home use.

This product open up a whole new world for me in colored pencil drawings. From drawing Harry Bigfoot apes to Jesus it helps me get the fine detail I am looking for. I would recommend it to others that are trying to achieve fine detail.
