- Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2020Color: TealVerified PurchaseI do a lot of do-it-yourself projects and I was needing a cutter for cutting out my own templates, this cutter is just fantastic for cutting and for those hard to cut areas like small and fine detail, this cutter is magic. I also have a hobby knife set for crafts and the blades fit well with this cutter as well . So far I've used this on paper, plastic, and fabrics. How long the blade will last naturally depends on what you use it on and how many times you use it. This cutter also has a hard plastic cover for safe keeping because it is very sharp. It fits comfortably, doesn't slip, has really good grip and cuts smoothly and accurately on whatever your cutting and I usually use a template to guide me but some projects I use it to free hand and it hasn't failed me yet. The only way this won't cut properly is if you use a dull blade or you don't follow the correct shape of what you're working on. Also, the color is a pretty and pleasant sea green (that's how it looks to me anyway) . It's simple and easy to use, my kids (14 and 16 ) use it on their projects as well with no problem. Don't forget to use this with some sort of support underneath so you don't destroy your tables or accidentally hurt yourself, I use a self healing cutting mat. This is a fantastic cutter.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2025Color: TealVerified PurchaseThis Excel finger blade tool is a game-changer for my paper crafting and mini scrapbooks! It offers precision and control, making intricate cuts effortless. Super comfortable to use, and it’s now a staple in my craft kit. Highly recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2020Color: TealVerified PurchaseThis is my first cutting tool of this type. Wow! I first used it for cutting small paper stars that I traced from a stencil. Normally I would have used a small pair of craft scissors for such minute detail, which if you have done this before, you would know is challenging, especially to get the precise inner cuts while leaving them clean.
With this tool, cutting those stars was a breeze! I could hold down the paper on my mat with one hand and get those points and angles clean with the tool in the other. Having it on my right index finger was just like drawing. If I missed and left a small tag, I just laid the blade horizontally alongside the area to cut it away, and the tag came off more easily than if I had tried to manipulate a pair of scissors to do it. I wish I had known about this type of cutting instrument before. If you are a crafter, using this blade is more convenient and comfortable than using a pencil-style exacto blade
Best part is the price. Other name brand (Fiskars, etc.) are pricier, esp in the stores, yet the style of how it fits to your finger is the same. Don’t spend the extra money—this one does the job! Get one for yourself and each one of your crafting friends!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2022Color: TealVerified PurchaseEasy to use and feels good as I use it for my crafts. Would recommend for those who have issues with hands when crafting.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2024Color: TealVerified PurchaseHandy little tool... I get much more detailed while making intricate cuts.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2025Color: TealVerified PurchaseThe idea is great! But it is a bit too large for my finger and the plastic is a bit slippery. I have wrapped it with hockey stick tape and now it perfectly fit my finger and does not slip. Now it is the best craft knife I can imagine - I can apply a lot of cutting force with incredible accuracy! You cannot really match it with the classical hobby knife design.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024Color: TealVerified PurchaseAt first I bought one that put my hand in pain so I asked an artist what he recommended and he told me this so it is easy and friendly on my hand. No pain so far. Thank you. It's small and easy to use, I don't have to press hard on my leather projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars 力が入れやすい
Color: TealVerified Purchase某YouTube番組で見かけて探していたところ、Amazonで出品されているのを発見し購入。名前の通り、人差し指を通して、人差し指、親指、中指の三本で保持する独特の持ち方で、人差し指を中心に、ナイフの刃先まで力を入れやすい形状。紙よりも固い素材、革やプラスティックなどを精密に切るのに役立ちそう。とりあえずYouTubeで見たように、ラジコンのポリカーボネートボディを切るのに使う予定。
