Crafted Review: Fiskars Cutter and Ruler Combo

I LOVE Fiskars products. My all time FAV scissors are Fiskars. Unfortunately they have gone to craft supply heaven and I don’t think they make them anymore. 🙁 Devastating, I know!

Anyway, this post isn’t about my late scissors it’s about this freakin’ awesome cutter!

A few weeks ago I was asked if I would be interested in writing a post about the new Fiskars Cutter and Ruler Combo. I wasted no time in getting back to them with a big fat YES!!

To tell you the truth, I was a little sceptical. I mean I knew it would be fine as it’s got the Fiskars name on it, and they don’t make bad stuff, but would it be amazing… meh. I just had to wait and see…

The packaging claims the cutter can get through 8 layers of fabric. So naturally I grabbed some calico and folded it until it had 8 layers. HOLY MOLY….

It cut so smoothly and cleanly. I couldn’t get the smile off my face!

I ran back to my craft stash and found some metallic leather. Yep. Leather.

Cut through it like butter!

I tried felt too! It’s awesome for that too! So awesome that I totally destroyed a whole sheet of felt purely because I was having so much fun cutting! No joke. I really did. Good thing I have a massive box of the stuff! 😉

The best part about this cutter is this guy. No-touch blade change tool.

Here’s how it works…

You unscrew the nut of the blade cartridge and take it off.

Push the blade into the top of the blade change tool.

Once you hear it click into place take off the orange blade holder.

The blade is now held securely in the tool.

Flip the tool over and slide the clear plastic section upward. This puts a new blade into the top section.

Ta-da! Slide the clear plastic cover back down and your new blade is ready to go!

Pick up your orange blade holder from the cutter and place it over the blade change tool.

The magnet in the orange holder will pick up the blade perfectly placed. Now all you have to do is screw it back onto the cutter/ruler.

Seriously brilliant!

Wanna see more? I’m making a cute little project using the cutter. I’ll have it up on the blog in the next few days so make sure you check back soon!

For more into on either of these super cool crafting tools head over to the Fiskars website.

DISCLAIMER: I was not paid for this review. I was given a cutter to try out and show you guys but there was ZERO dollars involved. I will only promote a product if I genuinely believe in it’s awesomeness. That’s not to say I’m not open to being paid. I need money to feed my craft obsession, just like all the other creatives out there. If you’re interested in sponsoring Crafted or would like to pay me to write something for you I’d totally be interested. But I DO have to like your product. If I don’t feel like it’s the right fit for the Crafted community then I won’t take your money. No matter how much. Seriously. 🙂
