"These knives are well-made and affordable, especially since you get two for the price. The quick blade change feature is a real time-saver. My only minor complaint is that the grip could be a bit less slippery, but overall, I'm very satisfied with the purchase."

I’m always cautious with Amazon Basics, but this one exceeded my expectations—it’s a must-have for craft lovers."

"I purchased two of these kits—one for myself and one as a gift. My friend’s kit worked perfectly, but mine had a small issue with the blade collar. Amazon replaced it immediately, and the new one works great. For the price, it’s an excellent buy and the customer service was top-notch."

"I've been using this kit for my craft and DIY projects, and it's honestly a great addition to my tools. The knife is lightweight and very sharp, making it super easy to achieve clean, mess-free cuts—especially with materials like styrofoam and clay.

While the handle can loosen up a bit after frequent use, it's otherwise comfortable and reliable. Overall, excellent quality for creative projects."

"This set is inexpensive yet effective. The hobby knife and ruler are handy, and blade changes are quick and easy. The only minor issue is the protective cap being a bit too tight, but that's manageable. Grip is good, and quality is solid—I'd rate it a B+ or A-."

"I went with this knife set over others because it's made in the USA, supports American jobs, and is very reasonably priced.

Overall, these are a great addition to my toolkit."

"What convinced me to buy these was that they're USA made—that matters to me. They're super sharp, a great value, and perfect for cleaning up my 3D prints. I’d definitely recommend this set to anyone looking to replace their old craft knives."

"I like the blades and handles, but I did notice the magnetic strip holding the blades wasn’t glued in, so it fell out. There were also some unpolished spots on the wood and a gouge in one handle, but otherwise everything works well. I just expected a bit more since they're made in America."

"I bought this kit mainly to process my own rabbits, and honestly, just the caper and skinner took care of everything I needed for small game.

Great quality overall, though the shears were a bit bulky for my small hands."

"I got this set for my husband because he loves processing his own deer, and he’s absolutely thrilled with it. The knives are super sharp and durable, and after multiple washes, there’s been no rust. The grip is solid, and the size was exactly as described. Fantastic value for the price!"

"I recently used this kit to field dress a moose, and I was very impressed. The sharpener restored the blade’s edge quickly, and the boning saw handled the sternum and pelvis with ease. I mostly used the caping knife and skinner for their control. My only issue was the rib spreader not quite working for a large moose, but overall, I consider this set a very solid investment."

"I think this knife is a great value for the price, especially since the blades are so easy to swap out. I mainly use it for opening boxes and crafts like making Halloween props, and it even handled carving wax (though the blade bent a bit, it never broke). It's a solid choice for anyone who needs a craft knife every now and then. The handle feels good in my hand and blade replacements are simple."

"This is a fantastic little kit for anyone into crafts or quick tasks around the house. The extra 33 blades really make it a must-buy, and it's so affordable and effective. I give it two thumbs up!"

"I picked up this knife to replace my old X-Acto and, while it's a bit smaller and lighter than the original, it still works well for most projects. I appreciate the protective cap, sharp blades, and sturdy handle. My only minor gripe is that the blade sometimes gets loose if I use it for a while, but for the price, it's a solid substitute."

"I've been using these box cutters daily at my stocking job and appreciate the sharp blades and comfortable grip. The bright colors make them easy to find on a busy workbench. My only small gripe is that the top screw sometimes loosens, but now that I know, I just check it occasionally."

"They're not as high-end as X-Acto, but for what I paid, they're pretty solid. Blades are sharp, though they could be sturdier."
