Replacement blades Silhouette SILH-BLADE-KRAFT

The Silhouette SILH-BLADE-KRAFT replacement blades are precision cutting tools designed for use with Silhouette Portrait 2, Cameo 3, and Cameo 4 (with adapter). The 2mm Kraft Blade is intended for specialty craft materials and provides a deeper cutting depth than standard blades, allowing clean cuts through thicker sheets such as acetate, craft foam and thin leather. These blades are available in orange and white and are made for straightforward installation and consistent performance in hobby and small-business projects.

Advantages

The 2mm Kraft Blade offers a deeper, more robust cutting edge compared with standard blades, enabling accurate profiles in dense or layered materials. Its construction supports consistent blade alignment and reduced tear on delicate substrates when used with appropriate cut settings. Compatibility with multiple Silhouette models (Portrait 2, Cameo 3, and Cameo 4 with adapter) and ease of replacement make it practical for frequent use in varied craft applications.

Suitable for

• Cutting acetate sheets for stencils and overlays
• Cutting craft foam for costumes, models and decorations
• Cutting thin leather for small accessories and appliqués
• Precision cutting of layered craft materials and mixed-media projects

Key specifications

• Blade depth: 2 mm cutting edge designed for thicker craft materials
• Compatible machines: Designed for Portrait 2 and Cameo 3; usable in Cameo 4 with a special adapter
• Material suitability: Acetate, craft foam, thin leather and other specialty substrates

How to use

Install the Kraft Blade into the compatible blade holder following the Silhouette machine instructions and, if required, attach the special adapter for Cameo 4 models. Select the correct material setting in the Silhouette software and adjust blade depth to 2 mm or the recommended depth for the chosen material. Perform a small test cut on a scrap piece to confirm pressure and number of passes. Use a Strong Tack Cutting Mat when working with thin, flexible, or slippery materials to keep sheets flat and reduce movement during cutting.

Usage recommendations

For best results, start with manufacturer-recommended cut settings for each material and fine-tune by performing test cuts. Replace the blade when cut quality decreases or when excessive tearing occurs. Use a compatible Strong Tack Cutting Mat for materials that are difficult to hold in place, and handle thin leather and acetate with care to avoid creasing before cutting.
