Small (Olfa) Blade & Snap Jar

thingiverse

I've had many occupations in life one of which was a Paper Hanger(Wallpaper). Back then I was introduced to Olfa® blades which, because they are so easy to snap off a clean edge, were excellent for trimming paper and especially double cutting on the wall. Olfa® blades come in a handy box which contained 10 blades and had a slot to easily snap off and contain the snips. It also had a ring to attach a cord(I never did) but then it could be hung on a clip say on a belt. The problem was that the plastic easily cracked or wore out when full letting the snips fly all over the floor. And while you could add another 10 blades it still wasn't enough. My "Snap Blade Jar" holds over 50(almost 100) blades, which Olfa® also sold but it had no break off lot, has a separate area for the snips to fall into and to keep the blades. It also has a snuggly fitting screw top which is set to stop with the snip slot directly over the snip bay preventing the snips from escaping when the snip bay is full. And it has that handy dandy channel to slip a wire or thin cotton or nylon string through if your inclined to hang it of a hook. If you print it out I'd love to hear your feedback.
