FAQs

Are these blades compatible with all hobby handles?

These are designed for use with a No. 1 handle. They may not fit larger or proprietary specialized knife handles.

Can these be sharpened once they go dull?

While theoretically possible, these blades are inexpensive and intended to be replaced to maintain consistent precision.

What is the best surface to cut on?

Use a dedicated self-healing cutting mat to preserve the sharpness of the blade for as long as possible.

Are these blades rust-resistant?

They are made of quality steel, but should be kept in a dry environment and wiped down if exposed to moisture to prevent oxidation.

How do I safely dispose of used blades?

Place used blades in a designated sharps container or seal them in a puncture-proof container before placing them in the trash.

Troubleshooting

Blade feels loose inside the handle

Ensure the handle collar is tightened fully. If the slot in the handle is worn, it may no longer grip the blade shank securely.

Blade snaps during use

Avoid using the tip for prying or high-torque sideways cutting; use the blade only for precision slicing movements.

Blade drags or tears material

The blade is likely dull. Replace with a fresh blade to restore smooth cutting performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extremely sharp edge for high-precision detail work
Compatible with a wide variety of common craft materials
Reliable, high-quality steel construction
Five-pack provides excellent value and longevity

Cons

Requires a separate No. 1 handle purchase if not already owned
Fine tip is delicate and can snap if used for heavy prying
Extreme sharpness demands careful handling to prevent injury

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use these blades, ensure you have a standard No. 1 craft knife handle. To install, loosen the collar of your handle, remove the used blade, insert the new No. 11 blade into the slot, and firmly tighten the collar to secure it in place. Always verify the blade is seated correctly before beginning work. To maintain longevity, avoid cutting directly on glass surfaces, which will dull the blade instantly; use a self-healing cutting mat instead. After use, store the blades in their original packaging or a dedicated blade safe to prevent accidental damage or injury.
