Cheap version of X-ACTO

By Photo cutter

from San Diego, CA

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Excel Hobby Blades:

I bought these blades thinking I would save a few bucks and they would be similar to X-ACTO. The tips break off almost immediately and the blades are very dull. Going back to X-ACTO.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Excellent Blade

By alstauffer

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Excel Hobby Blades:

I purchased these blades over the x-acto brand because of the lower cost, although I was leery of getting a poor product. I have found these to be of higher quality than most of the x-acto blades that I have used. I use these for scratchboard work and the quality in both strength, sharpness, and fineness of the blade surpass others I have used. I strongly recommend these.
