Review on πŸ”ͺ NT Cutter Swivel Craft Knife with Cushioned Grip - 1 Knife (SW-600GP) by Gelin Battle

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It was very difficult for me to use it.

Not sure why it's "Revane's Choice". Tried different airbrush cutting tools. By far the best rotary cutter I've found is the Gyro Cut, but replacement blades are quite expensive. I was hoping to find something with a cheaper replacement blade and the NT cutter seemed to fit the bill. The reason the Gyro Cut is such a good tool is because they recognize that you need to have an offset between the handle and the blade to improve guidance and visibility on the work surface. The NT cutter seems to have taken a similar approach, but the swivel is too tight in use and seems to have a mind of its own - it always slips over the blade. You can't even just draw a straight line across a ruler without removing it. I think if they had a super smooth swivel it would work. You can't have an accurate turning knife that doesn't rotate easily.
