The Slice™ Precision Cutter ushers in a new era of paper cutting

Anyone who enjoys scrapbooking, card making or paper crafting of any type has a craft knife or two in their collection, along with a box of expensive replacement blades. If you're like me, then I'm sure you bear a few scars from switching out those pesky knife blades that always seem to go dull at the worst possible time!

Slice™ has an innovative answer to this problem faced by paper crafters and artists around the world. Their Precision Cutter is a precision craft knife that never goes dull. This is made possible thanks to a high-quality ceramic (Zirconium Oxide) blade housed in the Slice™ Precision Cutter knife body. Originally perfected for use in cutting tools by the Japanese, ceramic blades made from high-tech Zirconium Oxide are known for hardness and durability, and have many benefits compared to traditional metal blades. Metal blades are rated 5.5 on the Mohs hardness scale compared to ceramic knives at 8.2, only two steps below a diamond.

In addition, ceramic is chemically inert, non-porous, non-stick and impervious to rust. Blades made from ceramic are extremely easy to clean, and since they are chemically inert, they will have no impact on your photos or scrapbooking papers. Ceramic blades are also very long wearing, are able to operate in high temperatures, and are non-magnetic and anti-static.

I personally tested the Slice™ Precision Cutter on a number of papers and cardstocks including a number of photo paper weights, and it performed flawlessly each time. The Slice™ Precision Cutter is made specifically for intricate cuts, and the small precision blade makes navigating around curves and in tight spots a breeze.

Designed by world-renowned industrial designer Karim Rashid, the Slice™ Precision Cutter employs a modern ergonomic design. The padded blade housing provides comfort, especially during long and intricate cutting jobs. The cap fits flush, so there is no chance of it coming lose in your scrapbook tote.

At only $6.99, this remarkable craft knife pays for itself the first time you use it. Considering the ceramic blade never needs replacing, you could easily purchase a Slice™ Precision Cutter for each room in your house for the price of a couple of packs of standard craft knife replacement blades.
