Precision Craft Knife

The Westcott 16963 CarboTitanium hobby knife is a pen-style cutting tool built for paper, photos and thin plastic. Its retractable blade and pocket clip suit crafters, office workers and hobbyists who need a compact, ambidextrous blade for everyday detail work.

CarboTitanium Blade Hardness

The bonded CarboTitanium blade is rated eight times harder than stainless steel, so it holds a sharp edge far longer than standard blades. That single durability figure decides whether the knife will survive repeated precision cuts without frequent replacement.

Pen-Style Build Integration

The manual-retract mechanism locks the blade inside a plastic-and-stainless-steel barrel measuring 1.1938 by 4.9022 by 19.6088 centimetres and weighing 0.018 kilograms. It needs no batteries, fits a pocket or tool roll, and frees up bench space compared with bulkier fixed-blade knives.

Questions about this item

How does the CarboTitanium blade hold up when cutting card stock in a Cricut machine?

The blade is bonded with CarboTitanium, making it eight times harder than stainless steel, so it stays sharp longer when slicing through paper, photos and plastic sheets.

What does the manual-retractable mechanism actually do during a cut?

Press the button to extend the blade; release it and the blade retracts automatically, keeping the edge covered when the knife is not in use.

Will the pen-style body fit in a standard craft-tool holder or pocket?

The knife measures 1.1938 cm deep, 4.9022 cm wide and 19.6088 cm high, weighs 0.018 kg and includes a pocket clip for secure carry.
