Review: Thoughts from a graphic design student - I am currently in my year of college pursuing my bachelor's in graphic design. I have to print with a bleed all the time and cut my pages to size by hand. I was scared to get this initially due to the non-standard blades, but now that I have it, I have no regrets. One thing I wish was that I bought this when I first started my studio classes rather than waiting till my final semesters. This knife is fantastic. It's extremely comfortable in the hand. The rectangular shape of the handle makes it way easier to control than a cylindrical one for longer cuts. The fact that the blade retracts makes this a great traveling knife. Most hobby knives don't come with a cover for the blade (if they do they are not secure) or they come with a bulky hardcover case. As someone who likes to travel as lightly as possible, the retractable nature of this knife is a huge plus. The blade snaps off easily to one side (but not the other). When you snap it, the point seems just as sharp as a fresh x-acto blade. This semester I've been taking a package design class so I have had the opportunity to test it on all sorts of materials. The extending blade came in handy for cutting through thick foam and for scraping off the adhesive from a glass bottle I was rebranding. I have used it to cut through a thick .04-inch sheet of PET that I was using as a window. It took a few passes and quite a heavy hand, but it got through it without the blade snapping. I've used it for cutting off plastic and resin supports when 3D printing. It was sharp enough that it was easy to only cut through the material around delicate components without damaging them. This knife and my burnisher/bone folder combo tool are two of the most useful tools in my bag for anything print related. Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Compact, Sharp, and Perfect for Crafting! - I recently picked up this DAT utility knife and it has quickly become one of my go-to tools in my craft room. The design is sleek and feels high-quality right out of the box. I love the compact size—it’s easy to handle and perfect for precision cuts on vinyl, cardstock, and other materials I use for my wreath-making and DIY projects. The blade is super sharp and the retractable mechanism works smoothly. The grip is comfortable, and the additional blade it comes with is a nice bonus. I also appreciate the clear safety cover—it makes storage worry-free. Whether you’re a crafter or just need a solid knife for everyday use, I highly recommend this one.

Great value and stylish, too! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dat knife was exacto what I needed *by S***O on 19 November 2025* I was have trouble with EVA foam and the box cutters and Exacto knife were just not cutting it. So I saw this and had it wish listed just incase. I finally bought and hoo boy is this thing just so fine both visually appealing and the quality of its ability. The shape and the re-enforced blade opening and a strong neck hold the blade perfectly that it just glides oh so smoothly across the foam with minimal force. The blade is so good it makes carving and cutting other crafts simple. The marker shape makes the knife graspable in multiples and preform its primary function clean and smooth. The value is perfect the durability of the Knife itself is plastic so if crushed it might break. Also the blade is so sharp make sure to have a cutting board underneath to avoid damage surfaces. I didn’t cut wood with it but did cut aluminum wires like it was nothing. These blades are sharp not diamond tipped scalpel sharp but Japanese informercial knife sharp. Cut aluminum cans too just for a laugh stab hold blade turn can perfect un snagged single motion. ## Frequently Bought Together - Utility Knife, DAT Series-X Portable Box Cutter, Fine Point Arts and Crafts Blade for Precision Cutting, with 10 Blade Pieces (White, 1 Cutter 10 Blades) - anezus Self Healing Sewing Mat, 12inch x 18inch Rotary Cutting Mat Double Sided 5-Ply Craft Cutting Board for Sewing Crafts Hobby Fabric Precision Scrapbooking Project - WORKPRO Premium Utility Knife, Retractable All Metal Heavy Duty Box Cutter, Quick Change Blade Razor Knife, with 10 Extra Blades --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/735767835-utility-knife-dat-series-x-portable-box-cutter-fine-point](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/735767835-utility-knife-dat-series-x-portable-box-cutter-fine-point) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-10-28*
