I use a lot of blades in my line of work (printing / signage) and decided to try to save some money with this order. Honestly, these might be the sharpest and strongest blade I've used so far. Using exacto blades, I'm always breaking the points off and I'm lucky if I get 4-6 good cuts out of the blade before it's dull and starts leaving rough edges on the foam board I'm cutting. With these, I was able to get at least 8-10 cuts out of each blade before replacing. So, with these I'm getting more cuts per blade and I'm paying a lot less per blade. It's a win-win.

Even with the shipping it was impossible for me to beat this price.
My Take:
1.MADE IN USA
2.Cuts into the shiny side of packing tape far better than my x-acto blades
3. Magnifying glass exam shows a more pronounced second hone than x-acto. I believe this finer edge may dull quicker but man is it sharper to start with. Cuts me real good too.
3. Did I say Cheap
Would buy again if I live long enough to use up the first 100

I use these blades every day. I use them as part of my art process [...]and go through hundreds of blades a month, so as far as size 11 "hobby" sized blades go, you might as well refer to me as an expert! I promarily use these blades but have occasionally had to settle for exacto blades when I don't have time to order the techni edge ones. The tips of these ones, I've noticed, don't break as easily as the exacto brand and you just get that little bit of extra cutting out of them. There's nothing worse than when that very tip chips off of your blade! Especially if like me, you're using the blades for a fine amount of detail. These are the blades you want if you want a quality blade (and they're cheaper than exacto too so double bonus!)

I use these for my model airplanes (mostly foam board). With foam board they do not dull any faster than name brand blades (not much experience with other applications). I noticed other reviews stating a rounded edge, the blades i received have an excellent edge (see photo, the blade with USA is the Techni Edge #11). Overall a good blade, very happy I bought them.

These blades are your standard #11 sized blades that fit into any hobby knife vise.

In a side by side comparison with other brands there does not seem to be any outstanding differences. One thing to note is that they seem to lose their edge a bit quicker than X-acto's however; when you compare price point, it really can't be beat.

I make papercut art full time and go through quite a few blades a day - these are the best I've found for the lowest price. I use these blades on everything from thin tissue paper to heavy cardstock and they hold up to the job. I replace my blades quite often. I have no had any issues with the tips of these blades snapping off (as I have this other brands.) I have purchased these many, many times. Highly recommend.

I dug an old Xacto knife from when I was a kid for a project and quickly learned a dull blade creates a lot of problems. I am cutting Frisket paper and creating stencils for airbrushing. I found these and it made sense to get the 100 pack, for the price: even if they weren't as good, I could swap them out more often.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that these are sharp as hell. I can't imagine name brand blades being much sharper. They last pretty decently, however I only use about the last 2mm of the blade to cut the paper. I've found that I have more control after using the blade for a little bit...right out of box they're almost too sharp to maneuver around details.

Overall, I would highly recommend and will purchase these again if/when I run out.

These are the best hobby blades I've ever used and really like the fact they are made in the USA. They are scalpel sharp out of the package and stay that way for quite some time if used properly. My only "gripe" is that I wish they came in either a hard case or a dispenser pack. Being wrapped in paper and then stuck in a cheap plastic blister pack makes getting out a new blade a cautious process.

Fantastic, better than the original. Feels great to not worry that a blade is costing me $1 every time it breaks, I can go through them all the time and doesn't matter. They are 100% pointed at the tips and NOT rounded as some reviews have claimed.

By David Filmer

I don't know if these blades will hold their edge shorter or longer than brand-name X-Acto blades, and I have no idea how anybody could assert such a claim, short of a carefully controlled scientific test. But one thing I do know is that the high cost of name-brand blades had encouraged me to continue their use well past their expiration dates, after the metal had become blue-grey and obviously too dull. And one (seemingly counter-intuitive) axiom I learned in Boy Scouts is that a sharp blade is much safer than a dull blade.

The (MUCH) lower cost of these blades makes me feel much more comfortable discarding and replacing a marginally-sharp (and less safe) blade. If blades cost a penny, we would want to use a new blade EVERY TIME. This is true for every type of blade - box-cutter blades, shaving blades, etc. When I switched from Gillette shaving blades to Harry's, I was much more comfortable replacing the blades more often, which improved the overall quality and satisfaction of my shaving.
