for Rheumatoid Arthritis Crafter
This is an extremely overdue blog post. I wanted to compare the two blades, but couldn't figure out a fair way. Who can cut the most paper, the best cut, the longest lasting blade etc etc.
They both cut nice..they are blades after all. I had a preference going into this, but wanted to see if it continued. I decided to simply put both of them on my desk and see which one over a few weeks I favored more. I know, not very scientific..but.
EXCEL Blade

I met this wonderful company at CHA in California. I had such a nice time with them, what great guys.
This blue one from X-Acto was always my go to blade. As you can see the Excel one is a bit larger and the grip is, well more grippable. (is that a word) The blue one is slippery.
The little black blade..everyone needs a little black blade..WOWZA this is sharp and very pracic cut. It works like a pen, push down on the top and the blade comes out. There is a little button you press to retract the blade.
PENBLADE
I also met Penblade at CHA. What a group of super fun and sweet girls. They also won a few awards for this design! Way to go!!
They have 3 different blades: 10, 11 and 15, and are nicely color coded. On the website they will show you what each number blade is best for.
There is a lot I like about this product. The grip is nice, very easy to hold, love that the blade is retractable and it has a ruler on the end. These are VERY sharp, so be careful.
Both products are wonderful and carry a lot of great qualities. That being sad, me personally kept going toward the Little Black Blade. This one seemed to be my favorite. I felt like I always had the most control with this small blade.
Thanks so much to both companies for letting me try both.
Please remember - this is only my opinion.
Happy Crafting
