@Sue: Using snap-apart Exacto knife blades is not a good idea. Sorry :-( Although it seems like a cheap alternative, these blades are designed to snap apart. Having one snap into your face, could have disastrous consequences! Please just use the blades designed for cutting clay. OK? I would hate to see you get hurt!!

@Cindy: If you are thinking of using th snap off blades, please don’t. I think it is too dangerous, and I want you to be safe! Have a great trip to Las Vegas! Win some money for me!

To the contrary, Cindy…great idea!!! I think I probably have some somewhere!

My husband and I are going to Las Vegas for the first time ever and are leaving in the morning. If you don’t hear from me for a week or so, that’s why!

Hugs to you,
Cindy E.

Hi Cindy,
I was cleaning my studio the other day and found a bunch of replacement blades for a snap off exacto type utility knife. They were the large size and other than the marks for the snap off sections they were about the same size as a tissue blade. I cut some clay with one and it did not leave any marks at the snap off points, and it seemed pretty durable, not as if it was going to snap at any of the joints without making an effort to do so. Have you ever used these blades in this way. They are economical. What do you think? Bad idea?

Thank you, Cindy. I was wondering how I could sharpen my blade, and your video is my answer! Now, I just need to get a knife steel.
