Excel Blades Dual Flex Cutter Hobby Knife, American Made Light Duty Craft Knife with Twin Parallel Blades

This double-bladed knife is a good idea. It cuts well, although it does not cut very fine lines. Quite uncomfortable to use — fingers rapidly become tender. But if you don’t need to cut a lot of material in one go, it works well. Maybe manufacturer could work on a more ergonomic design. Would recommend it.

This is a great cutter for people needing to cut strips that are absolutely even. I use it with polymer clay to cut strips to use as borders on my jewelry. Gone are the days of "eyeballing" the depth of the piece and getting it wrong. I use the little screw to set the width to exactly what I need and cut. What is also nice is that I can cut around some imperfections in my clay and the final strip will work as a straight strip to go around my pieces. Can't do that with a single blade. I am experimenting with using the strips to braid. Haven't perfected it yet!I have not used the tool with paper, but that should be next.

Just received this tool and used it to cut some masks for painting an HO scale caboose. Ordinarily I would use a ruler to measure the area to be masked, transfer measurements to masking tape, and cut with straight-edge and hobby knife, a difficult and often inaccurate procedure for these old eyes and shaky hands. Instead, I used the Dual Strip Cutter to measure the area directly, caliper-style, then simply free-handed the cut. Great results! Be sure to read product description for the range of widths that this tool can cut.

I had trouble maintaining the spacing while making a cut on a piece of tape. The system for spacing the blades should be more rigid.
