Hobby Knife Kits

[Cleat]

One of my hobbies is pen tuning.  I discovered two new hobby knife kits.  Both kits are available in chrome, gun metal, and brass.  The classic hobby knife uses #11 X-ACTO blades.  The bolt action hobby knife uses #65 Excel blades.  The classic hobby knife has a cap covering the blade and the cap can be stowed on the rear post.  The bolt action hobby knife extends and retracts the blade using a rifle style bolt lever.

 

I got both kits from PSI (Penn State Industries).

Wow, Cleat!  Those are (I'll say it...) sharp-looking knives! 👍🏆

Question for you: Do they hold the #11 blade extremely tight so it does not loosen up under pressure?  My current #11 blade holder by Exacto loosens up under stress when cutting.  My #11 blade holder from Excel also loosens up with stress.  The Fiskars barrel handle for the #11 blade does a pretty good job staying tight but I could use a handle a little larger. The ones you have look very nice.

That's very cool. I thought about getting into pen turning also, but few people write or appreciate a nice pen anymore. Nice to see another aspect to it.
