Highlights
Quality
The quality is better than xacto knives
Im very happy with the olfa art knife
With the exacto i was constantly having to stop and retighten the blade holder
Price
Isnt directional so one mustnt pay attenetion to how it is connected
Shipping
Wonderful product brand new as advertised and the quickest shipping ever
Packaging/appearance
The grip of the blade is also far superior to the xacto system and it loosens easily
If you want to get the olfa replacement blades you can get them on amazon at this link
Competitiveness
This is something every hobbyist needs and a cut cough above the competition
Its heavierheartier in the hand compared to a basic xacto setup
I have a few xacto brand which i was not very thrilled with
These blades do not fit well in an xacto handle

The only thing i would have liked to see would be a threaded insert in the handle instead of the metal tightening mechanism screwing directly into the plastic

I did figure it out fairly quickly though
