#18 50-Pack Wood Chisel Blades, 1/2-Inch Carbon Steel, USA

Hobby Knives and 3D printing go together well, and blades get used up pretty often. So, these are handy to have on hand, at the ready! They are very sharp and do the trick.

I like the Xacto version that’s edged on both sides, but this multipack from Excel is made from quality steel and are well worth the price. Having a disposable chisel blade is a godsend in miniatures making, but they are impossible to find in small-town hardware shops. The Excel handles are still the true star of their product line.

Surprisingly useful blades for doing certain sorts of precision trimming of materials. I had one I had been using for almost ten years, simply sharpening it when it dulled, but I was chewing up the edge and began wondering why I bothered, so I'm trying these. So far my first one has held up nicely, no complaints.

These blades compare favorably with the X-Acto blade I removed. They are sharp and work as expected. And THANKS for manufacturing them in the USA!

The main bevel is longer than an X-Acto #18, about 15 degrees. There's a secondary bevel and a back bevel, so the actual edge is two-sided and not as delicate as it looks. I use them for scraping, which takes the edge off pretty fast, but it doesn't chip, just rounds over. Shaves nicely when sharp. Does not break easily.

I like this blade a lot, it is very handy for many things. I've used it to clean up paint behind molding, shaving bits of wood for the models that I build for my model RR. It has just so many uses its hard to write them all down. Have fun exploring the many uses yu can find! Chuck

Great blades, not flimsy at all. I use them to sharpen pastel pencils and they do a great job. They come very sharp in a handy plastic container. Highly recommend.

Thought I was getting Xacto blades, but these are not and they aren’t as sharp as Xacto.

Parfait et bonne qualité! Merci!
