Knives & Blades

Shop Craft Knives and Craft Cutting Blades at Spotlight

A craft knife is traditionally seen as a tool with a pointed, replaceable blade that is a few centimetres in length. But there are many different craft knives or craft knife blades - art scalpels, precision cutters, utility knives and pen cutters - depending on your project.

Generally speaking, a precision cutter features a small, embedded blade, so you're most likely to use this implement for detailed work. Whereas a utility knife or other mid-size blade, such as that found in a pen cutter, is most suited to cutting through a wide variety of materials but without the fiddly bits. Retractable knives with their larger blades are particularly good for thicker materials, and for either cutting wide and curving lines or long and straight surfaces.
