Fiskars Softgrip Detail Knife

Hi all,

Is anyone using this knife?
Softgrip® Detail Knife


Have you had issues with the orange grip?
mine has started to ride up the shaft of the knife
I am thinking about replacing it with a pencil grip/cushion
has anyone done the same thing? what is your verdict?

Rick

I use a Fiskars, but it is a finger knife.

Rick,

Would a couple of drops of superglue hold it in place?

probably not, the orange grip is also showing small tears at the edges, but i have had the knife for a couple of years now, and it is my go to knife.

I will probably check out the pencil grip/cushion

Some of those finger grip cushions are more solid than others. I'd try to find the sturdy variety

Grip problems notwithstanding, that looks like a very good knife, Rick. Will it take any #11 blade?

I have one of those that I do not use very much. It rolls around too easily. Gotta watch out for my lower extremities when using it.

It will take scalpel, Excel, and X-Acto #11 blades .
