Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Versatile X-ACTO Compression Basic Knife Set: Ideal for Arts, Crafts, and Pumpkin Carving by Nicole Mcleod

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A regular set to complement your possessions

At first glance the case is good, as are the tools. However, once you start looking for and using them, things change. The case does not close easily. You have to press hard to use the zipper to close. The knurling on the sleeve is of poor quality. This works well for a smaller knife, but with a large, all-metal knife, your fingers slide as hard as they grip. It's an extremely thin piece that if it were a little thicker it could give it a decent nudge and grip wouldn't be an issue. Here it loses a star for both ease of use and value for money. In terms of strength the sleeve is solid but I don't know how long this zipper will last as the sleeve has to be squeezed which means there is always pressure on the zipper when closing. Conclusion I would have preferred if they had put more effort into improving the quality of the pens and ruled out the case altogether. This is used. The matter will be put aside and time will forget it.

Pros
  • A set of precision knives for various craft and professional uses
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
