Tools and Hardware Reviews of SE Knife Set, 16Pc Hobby
Customer Review: Barely worth the money
Summary: 2 Stars
These came up when searching for X-Acto knives. In fact, you'll find that this set mimics a nearly-identical 16pc X-Acto boxed set. So close is it, in fact, that I didn't notice this wasn't X-Acto brand. When I received the item, I was disappointed. First of all, the plastic box is of TERRIBLE quality. The latch doesn't latch and in fact fell off after about 15 seconds of trying to get it to latch. The magnet in the lid is weak enough that the blades fall off if you set the box down to roughly. The knives themselves are extremely lightweight and feel cheap. They're also not quite long enough and not quite thick enough. All of this added up to me being vaguely dissatisfied with the set until someone handed me a real X-Acto brand #1 knife. Feeling the real thing, suddenly I could articulate all the things that I didn't like about this set. This set just feels cheap and isn't very comfortable to work with.
It got worse when it came time to change blades. The readily-available store-bought blades are, of course, X-Acto brand. The blades in this kit look almost exactly, but not quite, like real X-Acto blades. The shapes are all slightly different (an in my opinion not quite as useful) but the problem comes when you try to install an X-acto brand blade into one of the handles from this kit. The blade almost, but doesn't quite, fit. This results in having to stab something (like the plastic box, therapeutic by this point) to drive the blade up into the knife. I'm sure I would have had to use pliers to extract the blade, had I not consigned this entire kit to the back of the junk drawer.
I replaced this kit with an X-acto #1 and #2 and I'm MUCH happier with them even though they each cost more than this entire kit.
