Fiskars SoftGrip Detail Craft Knife - 8" Exacto Knife for Crafting - Multi-Use Exacto Blade Included with Protective Cover

For those having trouble getting the blade to lock, I think I can help. I bought a 2 pack, 2 months ago. Until tonight I had used only one, and it's been great. Grabbed the second one tonight, and the blade would not stay in place. After examining the good one, I notice the blade was aligned with the little nub on the collet, which also aligns with notch on the collar.After I did the same on the second knife, the blade locks in place.

It’s great finally owning an xacto style cutter that feels so high quality. The blades feel incredibly secure in it. The rubber grip is a nice touch it feels much better in the hand. Great value for the money.

Easy grip, easy to change the blade, works just as I need it to

Solid knife used for cutting foam board. Easy to store and a good value.

Better instructions required, so I deducted one star. Or perhaps I didn't read them? I am a big fan of Fiskar products and have used X-Acto knives for decades, so I didn't think I would need to read instructions on how to use this blade holder. I opened the product, tossed the packaging and didn't need to use it until after I emptied the trash. So I don't know if the packaging addresses the blade load issue or not, but it certainly confused the hell out of me until I tried inserting the blade in the shallow slot and that worked. The tooling looks like there should be some kind of part to pop into the hole in the blade. The hole is there to help secure the blade at some point (past or present, manufacturing process maybe?) but this design doesn't appear to use the blade hole, and relies instead 100% on friction. With the blade inserted into the shallow slot, the friction system works well. With the blade inserted into the deep slot 90 degrees perpendicular, the friction is inadequate, the blade moves around and the product is unusable. With the blade inserted correctly, the holder and blade are quite stable, secure and easy to grip.

This Fiskars Durable Knife with Softgrip is awesome. It feels great, is sturdy and gets the job done. It's perfect for my needs and was a great buy for the quality. It looks great as well. It's easy to change blades, which are sharp, strong and durable. I'm able to use it for needles to re-root doll hair. It fits my medium female hand comfortably. It includes a blade cover to protect the blade and fingers. Follow safety precautions as the blade is very sharp. I'm very happy with this quality product. Replacement blades are diverse for a variety of applications, and they are affordable. Thank you, Fiskars!
