Product description

The 10416 is an improved version of Slice’s original popular micro-ceramic blade Precision Cutter (model no. 00116). We listened to customers and incorporated their suggestions into this state-of-the-art update. We also kept all the good features that made it a fan favorite to begin with. The 10416 is a safer way to approach cutting. Slice developed a unique finger-friendly blade edge that cuts your materials effectively, but makes it harder to cut yourself. The 10416 features a new oval handle to prevent your cutter from rolling away. Its textured, anti-slip grip gives you ultimate control and the safety cap can be stored on the end of the tool while you’re working. The micro-ceramic blade is housed in a replaceable cartridge so you never have to buy a new handle. Depending on how much you use this gem, though, you may never have to replace the blade cartridge, either! Slice blades last up to 11 times longer than equivalent metal blades, saving you time and money. When you’re ready, simply twist and pull to change the cartridge. Don’t let the blade’s tiny size fool you: this strong ceramic edge can cut right through most thin materials. It’s ideally suited to intricate cutting or scraping, and works well on: freezer paper, most kinds of craft paper, washi tape, laminating film, Ultracote, and even thin clamshell packaging. Colored-pencil and scratchboard artists love the precise blade for scraping out details like fur or hair. The 10416 is also great for making tiny score marks in thicker, soft materials like modelling balsa wood or FIMO. The 10416 handle is compatible with Slice 10418 blade cartridges. We recommend that you always use a cutting mat. Never scrape the blade against hard surfaces like concrete. The 10416 Slice Precision Tool is an innovative addition to any artist, modeler, or crafter’s toolkit, and makes a wonderful gift for the creative people in your life. With Slice, safer cutting is for everyone.

• Slice safety blades' unique cutting edge might seem dull, but it cuts right through your material while keeping you safe! Slice blades are finger-friendly and safe to the touch
• Other blades are dangerously sharp. Slice blades start at a safe and effective sharpness and stay there 11 times longer. Unique micro-ceramic blade guards against accidental punctures.
• New no-roll design keeps tool handy while oval handle and index-finger grip ridges provide comfortable, ergonomic cutting for hours on end. Handle made from extremely durable glass-filled nylon.
• Blade cartridge needs no extra tools to replace; just twist and pull. Advanced ceramic blade never rusts and lasts up to 11 times longer than metal blades.
• Ideal for: detailed cuts to thin materials like washi tape, paper, freezer paper patterns, RC model vinyl. Always use with a cutting mat. A favorite for scraping in colored-pencil or scratchboard art.

MulWark 16 Pieces Basic Precision Craft Knife Kit

This kit is specifically designed for applications requiring a precise, accurate cut. It features the most popular hobby knife blades covering projects on both light weight & heavy weight materials.

Super Versatility in Various Scenarios

This set finds itself a good position in both professional industry and hobby project for architecture, carpentry, art, jewelry making, graphic design, small wood craft, leather craft, home decoration, and modeling, etc. Materials these knives can apply to cover ABS, PVC or EVA foam block, balsa wood, fabric, paper (collages and sculptures), vinyl matting, felt, duct tape, contact paper, art tissue paper, cardstock, quark, cardboard, rubber (rubber stamps), clay, string

Tips to better facilitate this tool

• Keep it sharp: Before you begin working with your craft knife, make sure it has a sharp, clean blade. If the blade is too dull it will only bunch and tear the material, rather than cut it.
• Use a cutting mat: A craft knife is commonly used in conjunction with a cutting mat: a protective covering that the workpiece can be placed on. A cutting mat not only protects the work surface, but also provides a durable surface to cut into that will not dull the blade.

Tips to better facilitate this tool

• Hold like a pencil: You should hold your craft knife in between your thumb and fingers, as you would hold a pencil.
• Move the material: For curved or shaped cuts, it may be easier to move the material, rather than the knife, by gently pulling it around the blade.
• The right pressure: Do not press too hard and attempt to drag the craft knife down the material, as this can lead to uneven cuts and damaged blades.

Tips to better facilitate this tool

• Use a metal ruler: For straight cuts, place a metal ruler (a craft knife blade may cut into a plastic or wooden one) next to the cut line and draw the blade down the ruler's edge. This will give you a perfectly straight cut and stop the blade from moving off course.
• Take good care: The craft knife blade should be kept clean at all times. After each use, wipe the blade with a dry cloth to remove any debris that may have built up.
