Will buy again
OK. Over my now 30+ years as a graphic artist, I have exclusively used X-ACTO brand blades for all of my projects. I recently went to restock my inventory and was shocked to see that the cost for those blades had nearly tripled in cost! What?! So I looked around for another source and found the ISHEY blades, which were, surprisingly, less expensive than the last time I bought the X-ACTO blades.The first thing I noticed was that the ISHEY blades have a steeper bevel than the X-ACTO ones. What this does is allow for much greater control when cutting circular lines. However it also makes the tip of the blade much more prone to breaking off. While this was very frustrating when this happened with the first half-dozen or so blades I used, as well as being disappointing that I’ve already pulled out two blades with the tips already broken off (it was a 100 count pack I purchased), I have learned to adjust my pressure on the blade holder to minimize this occurrence.Overall, I’m pleased with my purchase of the ISHEY blades, and will reorder them again when the time comes to restock. My rating is based on the most important aspect of the review.

Heckuva good deal!
This will be a lifetime supply for blades for my exacto knife. Blades are good and so much value for your money!

A bit dull, but okay for the price.
The blades are a bit dull--I use them to carve foam pumpkins. Normally a fresh blade will slice through the foam without resistance, but these have the feel of a blade I've been using for a bit but that isn't bad enough to replace yet.I suspect I'll go through these faster than the namebrand blades, but that's fine for the price per blade.

Works exactly as I need
I bought these as a cheaper option than getting the X-Acto brand #11 blades. They work well, fit on my x-acto brand craft knife, and are sharp. Love being able to get them in a higher quantity for this price. The plastic container they come in also snaps back together so you can store them safely, but I would recommend maybe a piece of tape on it as well before putting it into a bad to take with you.

Perfect for what I needed them for
I initially choose because of the price and feedback and hoped for the best. Well, they were correct and this is a great product for my hobby.

Great blades remarkable price
100 blades for $7.99 is an unbeatable price. They were packaged safely, and are sharp. Would definitely recommend the brand and buy again should I ever run out.

Still undecided
Very sharp and lasts through many projects. Great price.My only negative thing is that 1/3 of the blades are wider than others and will not fit into my knife.
