## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality
*by L***M on 25 November 2025*

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of this hobby knife kit, has stood the test of time over the years and I still use it to this day.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Craft knife/scalpel
*by S***E on 18 July 2025*

Brilliant knife for crafting, cutting fine detailed work perfectly, is easy to use and comfortable in the hand, unlike others.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great but the blade holder is cracked
*by L***1 on 2 July 2024*

This is in my opinion one of the best hobby knives you should buy, most other hobby knives on amazon are at least £5 and the premium knives will cost £20+, the blade is pinched in place and will not come out while using this knife, its perfectly sharp and so are the 5 replacement blades, basically exactly what i was looking for. The only downside is that the protective cap on the knife, and the blade storage box are not well built and even cracked on arrival, however the knife itself and blades are perfect.
