Steven X. ★★★★★

Finally, a stencil blade that doesn’t flex or skip on tight curves—the carbon steel edge holds its shape through a full sheet of Mylar without shedding burrs. I’ve used cheaper ones that dulled mid-project, but this one’s still crisp after a dozen cuts.

Grace V. ★★★★★

Cut through matte board like butter with these stencil-edged blades — the USA-made carbon steel holds its sharpness far longer than the cheap packs I used before.

Carter ★★★★★

I was nervous about switching blades mid-project, but these cut through thick cardstock like butter. The carbon steel edge stays sharper way longer than others I've tried.
