Excel Blades #17 Chisel Replacement Blades – 50-Pack Carbon Steel Blades Refill Hobby Knife Blades Set For Precision Carving & Trimming – Made in USA

#17 is typically not my go to blade but it does come in handy here and there, so I predict 100 would last me a while, these seem very sharp out of the box.

I bought some X-acto brand #17 blades because the seller was using a picture that said "Made in USA". But X-acto company (now a subsidiary of Elmer's Glue and sub-subsidiary of some huge corporate conglomerate) has now sold us out and their stuff is all Chinese now. So the X-acto brand went back to Amazon, and I ordered these. They are very well made (in USA) and they are very sharp. Buy American!

If you have any hobby that entails detail work, this blade and the #11 blade are a staple in any hobby tool box. The bulk purchase was the best value per blade and to preserve the others from getting any rust on them, I liberally spray the wrapper or the box with WD-40 and they should last about 50 years in that condition. They are sharp and get the job done whether it is trimming plastic from a model or cutting balsa wood. I have been stuck a few times so they are well sharpened at the factory.

works as designed

Have only used one but it is super sharp and feels like the other bread before they were made in China. Used in model making. Lots in the package, will buy again. USA made.

Monster blades, unstoppable, absolute units. Recommend to get the hundo-pack to avoid feeling guilty for abusing and utterly mutilating blades - just pop a freshy in your handle and get back to gettin'

Very good price on these major brand name blades--cuts my cost per blade to less than one fourth. I use a lot of these blades and will be ordering again.

Easy to break
