Frequently Asked Questions

How many blades come in this set?
It comes with 18 blades, with handles in a red case, as shown.

How is this different from the 14 blade set?
This set has 18 blades. The 14 blade set has 14 blades in a similar red case.

Can I cut stencils with it?
Yes. A fine pointed blade on a cutting mat gives clean stencil edges.

Should I buy a hobby knife set or a snap-off cutter?
A hobby knife holds a small fixed blade in a pen handle, so it turns easily round stencils and fine shapes. A snap-off cutter has a long 9mm or 18mm blade for straight cuts in card and board. Pick the knife set for detail work.
