Craft Knife Safety: 7 Pro Tips You Should Never Ignore

⚠️ A Sharp Blade Deserves Smart Handling

Craft knives are powerful tools, but in the wrong hands, they can lead to serious injury. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, these 7 safety tips can help you use blades confidently and avoid common accidents.

✅ 1. Use the Right Blade for the Job

Never force a thin craft blade to cut thick materials — it could snap. Match blade type with your task for cleaner cuts and safer handling.

✅ 2. Replace Dull Blades Often

Blunt blades are more dangerous than sharp ones. They require more pressure, increasing the risk of slipping.

🧠 Tip: Our blades are available in bulk packs (10, 50, 100) — always keep spares on hand!

✅ 3. Cut Away From Your Body

Basic, but crucial. Always angle your cuts away from hands and body parts, especially when trimming awkward edges.

✅ 4. Store Blades Safely

Loose blades in drawers? Big no. Use:

• Blade dispensers
  
  

• Safety boxes
  
  

• Snap-on caps for handles
  
  

✅ 5. Wear Safety Gloves (When Needed)

Especially during flooring installation or high-resistance materials. Cut-resistant gloves save fingers!

✅ 6. Keep Work Surfaces Stable & Clear

A clean, stable cutting surface helps you focus and reduces slips.

✅ 7. Use Age-Appropriate Tools

Blades are for responsible adults.
