How do I know if my knife is blunt?
You will be able to feel the blade dragging and resisting as you draw the knife over what it is you are trying to cut. With a new blade, there should not be any resistance at all.

If you are cutting around waterslide decals, I would suggest a new sharp blade every time to avoid tearing and try not to push too hard when cutting as this will lead to premature blunting of the blade.
