cut with care

Allows you to make two parallel cuts at the same time. Care and practice are required, especially when the blades are set close together. Fingers must press on the curved part of the handle at a right angle, otherwise the blades will converge/pull apart when cutting. Because the curved parts of the handle are narrow, care must be taken not to damage the finger that applies pressure.

Pros
  • DOUBLE BLADE METAL KNIFE The cutting tool of choice for a wide range of art and design professionals and hobbyists. Designers love this Excel Blades two-blade knife for its ability to easily cut perfectly even strips of material.

Saves time and improves accuracy

Just received this tool and used it to cut out some HO scale galley painting masks. I have typically used a ruler to measure the area to be masked, transferred the measurements to tape and cut with a ruler and utility knife, a difficult and often imprecise process for those old eyes and trembling hands. Instead I used a dual strip cutter to measure the area directly caliper style and then just freehand cut. Excellent results! Be sure to read the product description to know what width range this

Pros
  • Crafts and Sewing
Cons
  • Expensive

Great idea with horrible execution

Just took a car wrapping lesson with Justin Pate. He showed the tool of a custom vinyl strip class. I bought it. Trouble is, I love a sharp knife. It comes with an extra set of blades, then it's junk. It will not fit standard X-Acto blades and Revain does not sell replacement blades for them. This makes it a disposable knife that costs $30. They either have to sell Blades on Revain so companies using a limited number of approved purchase locations can buy them, or they have to make itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Cutting tools
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Many uses for this tool

This is a great cutter for those who need to cut perfectly even strips. I use it with polymer clay to cut strips to use as borders for my jewelry. Gone are the days when you could "peek" into the depth of a piece and be wrong. I use a small screw to adjust the width to exactly what I want and trim. What's also nice is that I can carve some imperfections in my clay and the last strip works as a straight strip to go around my pieces. You can't do that with a blade. I'm experimenting with webโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Craft Supplies
Cons
  • Non-Automatic
