Excel is the best!

My review of this knife is the same as my review of the Excel K2 knife. I'll keep this short and sweet. You can read the long version in the K2 review...I highly recommend the Excel brand. Best knives I've ever owned!

my knife

Lite, easy to handle, safety with a cap

Perfect for model assembly

I use it to cut off those little tags on my 40k models where it was connected to the sprue. Nice, clean cut.

Excellent quality hobby knife for high density EVA foam and cosplay

I was recommended these blades by a fellow cosplayer friend who swears by these blades. I decided to try these over the popular X-ACTO knives and I was blown away upon first use. The blades are more durable with what it comes with, and I get clean cuts on foam as pictured! I finally also learned how to cut bevel angles on high density foam and the blades with this kind of force do pretty well. The mechanism to release and replace the blades feels a little different than other common brand hobby knives, and it seems to have a better grip on the blades compared to others. This brand of hobby knives has a whole bunch of other ones in their line to try out, and I'm looking forward to getting more of their stuff! Highly recommended for such an affordable price.

Works well

Sharp, works well and glad it comes with a blade cover.

Great quality, budget price

I was a little bit surprised that the quality was this good for such a low price! Heck, it's practically cheaper to replace the knife than it is to replace the blades.

Works as intended

This was a great price and the reviews were good so I took a chance and it worked out! It works as intended, no issues and will buy again if I need a replacement.

Super sharp

This was perfect for what I was making, but it should be noted that it is extremely sharp. Use caution when crafting with it.

Works well.

I can't tell the difference between this blade and an Exacto knife. I don't remember the pricing but it works just as well for an "off brand".
