Review on πŸ”ͺ Craft Hobby Knife Set: Exacto Knife, 2 Knives + 60 Blades & Bag - Precision Cutter for Scrapbooking, Carving, Stenciling - Black by Amy Mcleod

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good hobby knife set but metal storage box arrived badly dented

The Arvakr hobby knife set includes two X-Acto style aluminum handles with plastic blade covers and a useful blade set. If you're familiar with the standard X-Acto blade numbers, the set includes #11 thin diagonal blades mounted on handles, plus forty #11 spare blades, ten small #4 straight chisel blades, and ten small #4 angled chisel blades 16. The set also includes six plastic blade cases, each containing 10 blades, while handles with blade cases and spare blades are packaged in a beautiful metal (steel) flip-top case. Unfortunately, my kit arrived in a shipping case with minimal padding and only a thin sheet of plastic to "protect" the case, and the metal case was so badly crushed/dented that I had to use tools to pry it open. While I was able to iron out most of the damage by knocking out the dents from the inside with a wooden dowel and hammer and the case works now, it still looks bad because the metal is bent where I dented it. While this good hobby knife and spare blade set probably costs less than $8 without a case, for me the case is a big part of the set's appeal, so I'm disappointed that it arrived so badly damaged.
