OLFA 9mm Snap-Off Art Blades 10-Pack — 30° Precision Stainless Steel, 7-Segment

OLFA 9mm 30° snap-off art blades (A1160B / 5007) are a 10-pack of stainless-steel, seven-segment utility blades designed for precision cutting of paper, film, balsa and sign-making materials.

These compact, snap-off blades deliver a consistent 30-degree cutting edge for detailed trimming, stenciling and craft work. Each blade contains seven breakaway segments so you can expose a fresh edge quickly without replacing the whole blade. Manufactured in Japan, they pair with most 9mm snap-off handles used by designers, model makers and sign fabricators.

What materials can these 30° OLFA blades cut cleanly?

These blades are optimised for thin-to-medium materials where a sharp, acute edge gives cleaner results. Use them for film, acetate and graphic overlays as well as card stock, poster board, foam backing and thin wood such as balsa.

• Vinyl, film and adhesive overlays
• Paper, card stock, matte and poster board
• Stencils and thin plastics
• Balsa wood and other light model-making materials

How does the snap-off design save time and ensure precision?

The segmented design provides seven fresh cutting edges per blade so you simply break off the dulled tip to reveal a new point. That reduces downtime compared with swapping full blades, keeps cuts consistent, and lets you maintain a precise 30° bevel for fine detail work.

• Seven breakaway segments per blade for repeated fresh edges
• Quick fingertip snap to restore sharpness on the fly
• Uniform 30° angle for predictable slicing performance

Will these blades fit my existing knife handle or utility cutter?

These are standard 9mm snap-off blades, compatible with most 9mm snap-off utility knives and holders. Verify your handle accepts 9mm (sometimes called "art" size) blades and supports segmented snap-off style for proper fit.

• Standard 9mm width fits most snap-off handles
• Designed to work with common art and utility knife models
• Ideal for craft, sign-making and graphic-design knife bodies

How should I break segments and handle blades safely?

Score and snap segments along the pre-scored lines using pliers or the built-in snap slot on many handles; avoid using bare hands to reduce injury risk. Store unused blades in their original packaging or a blade-safe container and dispose of used segments in a puncture-resistant bin.

• Use pliers or the handle snap feature to break segments
• Keep blades in packaging when not in use
• Collect discarded segments in a puncture-proof container

Who this is for: Designers, hobbyists, sign-makers and model builders who need a compact, economical blade with a precise 30° edge will appreciate this 10-pack. It’s made for people who value quick refreshable edges, repeatable cuts and a blade that handles thin to medium materials without frequent replacement. If you work with vinyl overlays, stencils, paper crafts or lightweight wood modelling and want a reliable, Japan-made snap-off option, these OLFA blades are a practical choice.
