OLFA ABB 9mm Black Snap-Off Blades – 25% Sharper, Double-Honed, 10 or 50 Packs

The double-honed edge is no joke. These glide through photo paper and mat board without tearing, which cheaper blades always did. I bought the 50-pack because I never want to run out of these.

I do bookbinding and paper crafts daily, and these black blades cut noticeably cleaner than the silver ones I used before. Each segment stays sharp for days of regular use. The snap-offs are easy and clean — no cracked segments. Excellent product.

The sharpness is genuinely impressive — 25% sharper claim seems accurate. My only gripe is that the harder steel feels a bit more brittle when snapping segments, and I've had a couple crack unevenly. Still my preferred blade for precision work.

Cuts beautifully, much sharper than standard blades. However one segment snapped off at an angle while I was cutting and nearly hit my thumb. Could've been user error, but be careful when snapping.

Yes, they cost a bit more than silver blades. Yes, they're worth it. The edge lasts longer, cuts cleaner, and my craft knife has never performed better.

Razor sharp, snaps cleanly. Recommended.

I'm a retired sign maker and precision is everything in my hobby work now. These double-honed blades score and cut vinyl and paper with a crispness I haven't found elsewhere. The 9mm size gives me great control for tight detailed cuts. Fifty pack should last me years.

Maybe I got a bad batch, but mine didn't feel dramatically sharper than regular blades. They cut fine, nothing more. Expected more for the premium price.

I teach a middle school art class and go through blades fast. These cut cleaner through cardstock and the kids' projects look sharper — literally. The black coating also makes them easy to distinguish from my standard blades in the supply drawer. Good value in bulk.

Started using these for plastic model kits after years of standard blades. The fine edge makes clean cuts on sprues and decals film, and the tip stays pointy much longer. Snapping off a dull segment is quick and satisfying. Very happy with the 10-pack trial; will get the 50 next time.

Sharp, smooth, easy snap-offs. Will buy again.

I resisted the upgrade thinking a blade is a blade. I was wrong. The first cut through double-layer mat board with zero tearing convinced me instantly, and weeks later the edge is still going strong. The 50-pack price per blade is barely more than the cheap stuff. Don't wait like I did.
