What do you use to cut your soap?

[Soapsugoii]

The kitchen knife thing isn't working out so well. I long for the nice clean lines!

I have the commercial grade, fondly referred to as a Tank. Love it. But you needn't go with that model - they are all good. Not cheap, though.

I use a straight blade cutter and a wavy blade cutter. I've seen stainless steel pastry cutters in stores that look just like the straight blade I use.

I had far too many breaks with my blade cutter, so now I just use fishing line. Always cuts beautiful and I've never had a problem.

I use a pastry cutter... Works like a charm! I found mine at Target and I think it was under $5.

I still use my large, trusty knife and a ruler. I only make 2.5 lb batches at a time, so this works out just fine for me, and my bars come out pretty straight. If I regularly made much larger batches, though, I'd probably go with the Caddilac of cutters- the Tank.

I found a great cutter from pampered chef. It is called the crinkle cutter. I also love ther batter bowls for mixing soap in.

I use a very large putty knife. I've only made three batches so far but it's been great!

I have a wooden box-like cutter that uses a wire for cutting. You just slide the log along the box and the wire does the cutting. Pretty clean if you keep an even pressure on the log.

Love my tank.

Aren't they just great? I love their crinkle cutter. Perfect size and very durable!

I tried many diffrent knifes still not what I want and I have really hard time with cutting, especially when I have petals in the soap, they move around to create lines... very annoying

The tank looks AWESOME. I'm going to give a food scraper/slicer a shot. Thanks for the advice!

My dad built me a "Jack Tank" that I love. It has to be tweaked here and there between cuts, but it was free!! Maybe one day I'll be able to afford the real thing.

Love my Tank! It's a great investment.

I forgot to mention that awhile back someone said she was using a guitar string.

My "Jack Tank" has guitar strings on it. I have, however, found a cheaper way to string it as I have a friend who works for an industrial supply house. Same item, just in bulk.

I use my cheap plastic miter box, and a good sharp knife....never have had a reason to upgrade.

The Tank cutter strings are guitar strings. If you break on, just go to your local music store for replacements. When the guy at the music store measured the ones that came with my Tank, they were 19 gauge. He didn't have 12 in stock (yes, all the strings broke at once) so I used 20 and 22 gauge steel guitar strings and it's working fine. I may even go to 24 gauge next time.
