Questions & Answers
Yes, this handle will accept standard replaceable seam ripper blades.
No, refills are not included.
My knife could not accommodate a two-bladed blade.
Although it is as sharp as a scalpel, I believe there are easier ways to cut through denim. Do you have a good pair of fabric scissors or a rotary cutter at your disposal?

Save your money and go on a search for a colorful utility knife. It's a lot better and costs about the same.
I had high hopes for this blade, but it turned out to be a dud. Fabric is definitely not one of them. I took it out of the box and it looked fantastic. It was also very comfortable to hold. The handle is thick enough that it won't cramp your hand like an Xacto knife, and the blade can be changed with ease using the tension release. Nice blade-covering cap; a little tight, but that's fine. So far, everything has gone well. My Hanes T-shirt arrived in the mail. My shirt was on my cutting mat, and I was about to begin cutting the stencil I had chalked on it when the blade's very tip SNAPS! A teeny-tiny piece of the puzzle broke off. WTF, I wouldn't have noticed it if it hadn't been for my glasses! When I unboxed it, I was really hoping it would work, so I was very disappointed. The blade itself is razor-sharp, but the tip, which is useful for fine details, has broken off. I'm hoping they can make something similar to this in terms of shape and size, but with a stronger blade.
This would not be an issue if the lid had a button that released the lid.
br>br>The blade-changing mechanism is more secure than Exacto knives' screw method, which, in my experience, can unscrew over time, making the blade wobbly and potentially dangerous. This has a very secure locking system. br>br>Exacto knife users will appreciate this!.
This grip is one of my favorites. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because the back lever was so annoying to use; it would flop around with every movement, which is not ideal when doing detailed work. I ended up tightening it up with super glue, which did nothing, so I did a second coat, which sort of fixed it, but it was messier this time, so I had to trim some away. They now have a more uglier appearance, but they are still functional to the extent that I would expect.
br>br>Aside from that, I can't say I have any complaints; it's worth the money, so get it!.
Since my X-ray, I've been using this knife exclusively. The blades on the Acto knife would not stay in place. Fiskars, on the other hand, performs admirably. The blade is well-secured, and the knife handle is easy to hold. Swapping blades takes some practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's not so bad. A minor quibble: br>br> When removing the cap from the blade, it is possible that it is too tight.
These are nice, but the release and grip mechanisms are a little flimsy. It doesn't give me the impression that the blade is being held securely, but so far it appears to be working, though it may lose grip over time due to the lack of a firm grip to begin with.
