The Alpha Knife stems from an overall frustration with current craft knife designs. This is a tool we use every day, so it was at the top of list for items to redesign. Mike, our lead designer, is a hardcore maker that you may know from the Physics Anonymous YouTube channel known for building and improving things like 3D printers, lathes, electric skateboards and more. As part of the process he is constantly cutting foam core and other materials for prototypes and projects he’s working on.

We designed the Alpha knife to be the workhorse of your precision craft knives. The standard #11 X-acto blade is strongly clamped in place using stainless screws and will not loosen with heavy use like most of the common designs.

The knife’s quick release button allows the blade to be sheathed back into the housing when you’re done, allowing you to pocket the Alpha and move on quickly to the next task.
The compact design allows the knife to be carried with you no matter what you’re doing. Even if you don’t have pockets simply clip the Alpha onto a lanyard and wear it around your neck.
