I was just about to take a scissors to my old credit card. Instead, I thought I'd see how it would fare against some of my "sharp" knives.

Most failed miserably. Rather than say what DIDN'T work well (like the small Sebenza), I will say that the best apeared to be my Marbles "game getter" sport 99, followed by the TnT, then the M-UDT.

The others pretty much sucked. And I thought they were damned sharp!

Plastic isn't fun to cut, but the Chiseledge knife seems to catch and cut better, IMHO...;)

hmmm cutting up the credit cards....have you gotten enough knives already? no way...:eek:
 
Thin blades work well on credit cards, the Umfaan is far better than the small Sebenza. Whitewing works as well.
 
I just cut one up using a Calypso Jr, aus-8 and Dozier D2. Both worked. It was a Debit card that I really did not want. An old Robeson carbon steel slipjoint worked too. All have blades that are not thick. Some time ago, I think it was Nemo who posted about how hard it is to cut the bottom inner circle of 2 liter soft drink bottles. They are a good challenge as I recall.
 
Perhaps a Cuisinart DLX food processor would be the most fun. Take that, Fleet Bank!
