The Excel Swivel Knife is a specialty cutting tool engineered for curved, angled or detailed cut-outs in stencil film, mesh edges, or vinyl sheets. With a swivelling blade mount and ergonomic handle, this knife allows makers to execute complex paths with smooth control, enabling refined detail, repeatable curves and creative shapes. Suitable for both print-preparation and craft applications, it offers a high-precision alternative to standard straight-cut knives.

Whether you’re cutting circular motifs, curved mesh edges or irregular stencil shapes, the swivel action ensures clean, continuous motion and minimal stop-start edge marks. This versatile tool supports studios and makers who push beyond standard rectangular designs and want clean curves or dynamic shapes in their print artwork.
