The media could not be loaded. I bought this craft knife set for my niece because she has a small business making earrings and necklaces with cold clay, and it has been a great tool for her work. It’s perfect for cutting the clay with a lot of precision, which is essential for detailed jewelry pieces. The kit comes with multiple stainless steel blades, so she can easily replace them depending on her needs. The knife is comfortable to hold, easy to use, and has a good size that allows for controlled and accurate cuts. The ruler included is also a nice bonus for measuring and guiding straight lines. The material feels solid and good quality, and she really liked it. It has made her work easier and more professional. I highly recommend this set for anyone doing crafts, scrapbooking, or clay jewelry making. Read more
Made nicely. The blade cuts very good. The handle is textured so it is easy to grip. There is a cap for the blade so storage is safe. Comes with extra blades. Read more
The media could not be loaded. This is an amazingly inexpensive set of a decent hobby knife, a sharp blade, and a nifty ruler. Why, then, did I not give it FIVE stars? The plastic protective cap on the blade is tight, too tight. It is actually a bit dangerous because you have to use so much pressur to get it on or off you risk slicing open your finger. Pro Tip: Use PLIERS to remove the plastic cap and then toss it. Replace it (if you're worried) with a cork. I care not a whit that the shaft is purple; for the price, it could be polka dots for all I care. Blades change quickly and surely. The grip is good (perhaps slightly undersized?) and overall the quality is a solid B+, A-. The video shows the original blade right out of the packaging, slicing apart a piece of cardstock. Very little pressure needed! Read more
Well made and a great price. Exactly what I needed and does the job. Read more
I ordered the DIYSELF Craft Knife with 10 Extra #11 Blades in purple, and it has quickly become one of the most frequently used tools in my craft kit. Whether I’m working on polymer clay, paper projects, vinyl decals, or detailed model building, this set handles every task with ease. The craft knife itself feels solid and comfortable in the hand. The metal body has a nice weight — not too light that it feels flimsy, and not too heavy that it gets tiring to use. The purple finish is attractive and helps it stand out among my tools so I never lose it in a pile of supplies. The grip is comfortable and offers good control, which makes detailed work like trimming tiny pieces of clay or cutting stencil shapes much easier. If you’ve ever struggled with precision cuts using cheap knives, this one feels noticeably more stable and accurate. I love that this set comes with a metal ruler. It’s a simple addition, but it’s so useful when cutting straight lines on paper, vinyl, or cardstock. The ruler is sturdy and lays flat, which helps keep cuts clean and precise — a huge plus compared to flimsy plastic rulers. The fact that you get 10 extra #11 blades is a major bonus. I go through blades pretty fast with frequent crafting, and having replacements ready means I never have to stop mid-project. Each blade is super sharp right out of the package and stays sharp long enough that I can finish detailed work without dragging or tearing. Changing blades is also easy once you get the hang of it — just be careful! I recommend using a small pair of pliers when removing and replacing blades for safety if you’re not confident with your fingers near the edge. 🎨 Versatile for Many Materials: I’ve used this knife for: - Polymer clay detailing - Cutting stencils - Trimming vinyl stickers - Paper and cardstock shaping - Model parts cleanup It handles all of these smoothly and cleanly. On thicker materials, it still performs well — just take your time and use gentle pressure. Whether you’re just getting into crafting or you already have a stash of tools, this set fits perfectly into both scenarios. The extra blades and ruler mean you’re getting excellent value. It’s a reliable set without being overpriced, and it performs better than many other hobby knives I’ve tried. Minor Notes: - Blade changes can be a little awkward at first if you haven’t used a craft knife before — patience and caution are key. For anyone who does detailed cutting — especially paper crafters, polymer clay artists, vinyl hobbyists, or model makers — this craft knife set is a must-have. It’s sharp, comfortable, well-built, and comes with plenty of replacement blades and a useful ruler. I’m genuinely impressed with the quality for the price and will continue using this in all of my projects. Highly recommended! Read more
I got this a while ago so I could make some crafts with clay and styrofoam and yeah man, it's great. It's also been really handy for other projects. I don't think I've had to replace the blade, which extra are included, at all because it never seems to get dull. Keep it away from young one's as it is very very sharp, very light and easy to use so be mindful. It makes clean cuts, especially mess free with styrofoam so it's great value. Read more
great price for this hobby knife. I bought this for polymer clay and it has worked very well. blades are sharp. I will note sometimes it gets loose where you insert the blade, but it’s no big deal at all to me. Read more
