Safety knives are no good

I'm an art teacher and ordered some of these knives for my students without realizing they were any different from the old "pressure gauges". I agree that they are safer for kids or beginners but are more difficult to use in my opinion. In addition, the quality of the blades was inconsistent.

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts and Sewing
Cons
  • Available in white only

Pros
  • Lino cutter

With this product I was able to completely cut out the face of Walter White (from Breaking Bad) in about two hours. I was really impressed with the results. I wish they made cutting tips out of…

Pros
  • Emboss and Block Materials

  • Something Else
