Review on πŸ”ͺ Fiskars 167110-1001 Heavy Duty Craft Knife - 8 Inch, Orange Original Version - Top Quality Tool! by Michelle Langley

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Perfect hobby knife if it doesn't roll off the table that easily

I can honestly say that this knife feels great in the hand, it has perfect weight distribution, gives great feedback when cutting on polystyrene plastic (Evergreen records). It can work with almost any blade, from Olfa to X-Acto, the collet is available in 2 different gauges. Just make sure you don't unscrew the chuck all the way every time you need to change a blade. The rubber handle allows you to hold the knife securely with minimal effort, which improves the accuracy of the cuts, you can also adjust the rubber. Part so that the notch lines up with your fingers for a better grip. Fiskar's replacement blades are very sharp, if a bit brittle, but cut better than standard X-Acto blades (#11). I would love to give it 5 stars but it has a nasty habit of rolling off the table and twice the blade landed on my thigh cutting through my pants and digging into flesh causing a bleeding wound that ruined my khakis.

Pros
