I removed the handles and put them on the shorter crinkle blade, this time laying the whole thing on it’s side so I could see the blade laying flat. but the handles made the tissue blade so long, I couldn’t control it! Really, the length of the handles plus the blade topped out at just under 10 inches… much too unwieldy for my taste. I made a swell Mokume Gane cane, and went to slicing….

Except to snap the saddle down and into place, you have to put your fingers somewhere for leverage… and your first instinct is to put your fingers under the saddle to brace them. ![]() You have to take off the “saddle” – the green part- put the 2 halves together through the holes, and then snap the saddle back on. The instructions on how to attach the blades were unclear- and no diagram or photo to help us visual learners out. Unfortunately, it didn’t really work out that way. I’ve nicked myself a few times grabbing the wrong side of the blade, so handles seem to make good sense: you’d know where the top is, and have a safe way to handle the blade. ![]() Initially, I was very excited about the handle concept. ![]() There are also 2 handles that can used with any blade. I’m continuing to explore the Studio by Sculpey clay and tool lines, and today I’m giving you the poop on the new Super Slicer blades.The retail price of the package was $14.99 (available at JoAnn’s ETC stores, and online) and includes 4 blades: a stiff, shorter blade, a long, flexible tissue blade, a scallop blade, and a crinkle blade.
