Product Information

Full details

The Swann Morton ACM No.11 Blades (ACM11 SM) are designed for artists, hobbyists, and professionals requiring precision for delicate cutting tasks in art, craft, and model-making. Their key benefit is delivering fine control and clean cuts on lightweight materials, though their carbon steel construction means they have poor corrosion resistance. These blades are engineered for accuracy and are compatible with the Swann Morton ACM No.1 Handle (models 9102 and 9105).

FAQs

What materials are these blades best suited for?

These blades are best suited for lightweight materials such as paper, card, film, and thin wood.

What handle do these blades fit?

These blades are compatible with the Swann Morton ACM No.1 Handle, specifically models 9102 and 9105.

Are these blades suitable for heavy-duty cutting?

No, these blades are designed for delicate and intricate cutting tasks on lightweight materials and are not suitable for heavy-duty applications.

How should I store these blades to prevent rust?

Store the blades in their original packaging or a dry, protective case. Keep them away from moisture and high humidity.

What is the material of the ACM No.11 blades?

The blades are made of carbon steel (material number 1.1231, C67S, AISI 1070), which allows for high hardness but has poor corrosion resistance.

How many blades are in a pack?

The blades are conveniently packaged in a blister pack of 5 blades.

Can I use these blades for carving wood?

While they can cut thin wood, they are best suited for very light carving or trimming of thin wood materials. They are not designed for aggressive wood carving.

Troubleshooting

Blade dulls quickly

Ensure you are using the blade only on recommended lightweight materials (paper, card, film, thin wood). Overuse on harder materials will reduce sharpness. Inspect for any nicks or damage.

Blade rusts or corrodes

Clean the blade thoroughly with a dry cloth after each use. Store in a dry environment and avoid contact with moisture. If minor rust appears, it may be gently removed with a very fine steel wool, but this can affect the blade's finish.

Difficulty attaching blade to handle

Ensure you are using the correct ACM No.1 handle. Check that the handle's blade slot is clean and free of debris. Blades should slide into the handle slot securely.
