Logan Elite Straight Cutter, Acrylic, Multicolour, 6x7x2 cm

Easy and safe to use when used with the correct ruler and correct thickness mount card. Definite time saver and safe to leave out on the desk rather than a craft knife

I couldn't get on with the logan knife supplied with their mount cutter,it kept sliding and going off line. This is so much better, clips onto the rail so can't wander, gives a perfect cut. A bit pricey, but if you want a good cut I'd recommend.

The description on Amazon says “ Product Description Logan-Straight Cutter Elite. Perfect for cutting matbaord foamboard and other similar materials. This 7x5-3/4x2 inch package contains one straight cutter five blades and instructions. Made in USA. Box Contains 1 x Elite Straight Cutter” So one sentence says that it comes with 5 blades (which one would expect, of course, as it’s useless without any), but is then followed by another sentence that says that the box contains a cutter. The item arrived in its sealed packet, with the packet clearly stating that there are 5 blades included (see image). There were no blades! I already have a bevel edge mount board cutter and therefore already own some blades of the correct size so this wasn’t a problem for me luckily, but it is misleading. I tested the cutter which does the job ok and it does fit onto the groove of a Logan Adapt A Rule too. It is not very sturdy though, being made of what appears to be plastic, so overall a pretty disappointing product, although it does cut IF you have some blades. I suspect an ordinary Stanley knife would do just as well though.

I bought this as an addition to my Logan kit . It is great for cutting mountboard to size with one pass of the blade (much better than a Stanly knife ) Very well made - I gave it 4 stars as it was a bit pricy and I thought it should have been included in the Kit

It is vital to use this with mountboard under the piece being cut. I tried with a piece of mdf beneath it and discovered that it relies on cutting down into the support substrate, which it duly hacks into with its hard strong blade. So for that reason they do not recommend using a cutting mat; there's only so much damage they can take and I can see this would exceed it so I am keeping it off mine! Using it on a support as hard as mdf just caused the knife to bend with terrible angled cuts resulting; the problem vanished when I used it as per the instructions and I've had perfect results since!

Nice cutter, easy to use. Shame it is so much plastic, as obviously metal base would be far more hard wearing.

Easy to use good value

Useful tool, pleased with the results. Tips: make sure you only fit one blade not accidentally two (they stuck together and I didn't notice at first!), make sure you pull not push to cut (the clue is in the product name...) and use a strip of mount board under the cutting line on the mount board you want to cut NOT self healing or plastic board to get a smooth cut. I tried both out of interest. Very pleased I bought this.
