This is a beautiful and useful set which comes in a
wood case and includes the three sizes of precision craft knives, the Craft
& Hobby Knife (light duty use), the Medium Duty Knife, and the Heavy Duty
Metal Knife. The set also includes a
total of 13 assorted blades, 6 for the Craft & Hobby Knife, and 7 which can
be used in either the Medium Duty Knife or the Heavy Duty Knife. Please see the photo for a visual on the
different blade styles.
Use the knives for precision cutting and trimming of:
paper, stencils, card-stock, cardboard, vinyl, foam, wood, fabric, plastic,
rubber, leather, film, photographs, cork, and numerous other materials.
The knurled handles provide a slip resistant
grip. The handle of the Medium Duty
Knife is larger than that of the light duty knife so that one can get a better
grip on it for cutting heavier material, however, it is still small enough that
it can be held in a pencil style grip.
For the Craft & Hobby Knife (light duty knife) the
6 blades include: 3 Double Honed Blades (#11), 1 Curved Edge Blade (#10), 1
Stencil Edge Blade (#16), and 1 Small Chisel Blade (#17).
For the Medium Duty Knife and the Heavy Duty Knife the 7 blades include: 2
Deburring Blades (#24), 1 Straight Edge Blade (#2), 1 Curved Edge Blade (#22), 1
Wood Chisel Blade (#18), and 2 Sharp Edge Angled Blades (#19).
All the blades are replaceable. To swap out blades
simply loosen the chuck on the handle and slide the old blade out, then slide
in the new blade and tighten the chuck again.
The blades are razor sharp so please be careful.
