Carriegsxr6 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I see peope use crinkled cheese cutters or just a straight bladed kitchen knife (not a steak knife cause it has ridges) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Pastry knife/dough scraper works well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I use a sheetrock knife.. The pastry knife was too thick for me, and caused smudging easily. Lots of people have success with it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friendlyMOM Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I began with a big ol butcher knife but I've graduated to a wavy cutter & my jason knife isn't getting much work these daysNow thats a scary picture, LOL.I use the crinkle cutter, also a Jason knife when I want a smooth edge to my soap, but like the crinkle cutter better:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I have a crinkle cutter, but sometimes use just a big butcher knife or my 10" drywall knife when I use my miter box to get perfectly straight bars (yah right!! Like that ever happens LOL). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Pastry cutters here too. My problem isn't what to cut it with but getting it cut straight. I'm gonna have to clean some guitar strings with a feather duster though and see if that works better, especially on the hardest bar I've made yet.

Meridith Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I have a crinkle cutter and a pastry cutter. I also have a Delsie which I love. I just use my feather duster to sweep away all those little soap bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt City Soapworks Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 You can also make a cutter using old-fashioned (springless) clothespins and stainless wire - just wrap the ends of the wire around a clothespin and hold it taut while cutting. Dowels would work just as well. Thin wire makes a nice smooth slice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineSundries Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Things I use to cut my soap:My loaf molds I use a bread slicer and a big ol' knife.My round & heart shape loaf molds, I use "Spiderwire" and a couple of dowels to slice through smoothly.My "slab" molds I use a 10" drywall knife.That's about it. So far so good - the Spiderwire is kinda spendy when you go out to buy it but it works great and it lasts forever!HTHLife & Light!Tish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
