For those interested in purchasing a cutter, I have a very strong preference for the Klic-N-Kut machines because of their broad range of functionality and applicability. In two words: KNK ROCKS! If you are interested in a KNK or other die cutting machine, please contact me for a referral to a qualified dealer (please indicate in your email where you live):
Currently, I sell software, videos, and phone classes. This includes Make-The-Cut, KNK Studio, ACS Design Studio, and KNK Studio GE. The classes cover both software and how to operate and successfully cut with all models of Klic-N-Kuts, including the ACS Eagle and the new KNK Zing. Please visit my store for pricing. Also, I am an affiliate seller for KNK USA.
I also help current owners of KNKs sell their die cutting machines in order to upgrade to newer or larger KNK’s. These used KNK’s continue to work great for many applications and offer a way for those on a limited budget to get the cutter they need! So, please notify me if you are interested in a used KNK and I will put you in touch with the seller. I also list used KNK’s for sale below but ONLY from customers who purchased their KNK’s and/or received phone classes through me.
can you tell me how old this cutter and is it in Fl.
The yellow KNK being listed by Cherrie is 6 years old and is located in Denver.
Hello Sandy,
I am looking for a used KNK 24″ machine, I have very little budget as am trying really hard to get my bead and soap home businesses running but I am struggling with the packaging but I believe that the KNK Maxx will do it for me (well I really hope so).
The closest KNK distributor to me is close to 2000 kilometers away but they expressly do not deal in used machines which is awful because the KNK Maxx basic model retails here for R16 800 ($1890) putting far out of reach of woman trying to start up small home businesses in rural, impoverished places.
If you know of a good secondhand machine please let me know.
Sincerely yours,
Kim
Hi Kim, Maybe try joining both the main Klic-N-Kut Yahoo group and the I Love My KNK Maxx Yahoo group and then mention you are in South Africa and looking for a used 24″ KNK Maxx. That’s probably your best bet since we do have South African members belong to these two groups. Good luck!!! Hope you find one!
Hi Sandy,
Do I have to purchase the MTC to work with the KNK Zing?
Thanks
MTC comes with the purchase of a KNK Zing!
I purchased a KNK machine new about 6-8 years ago. I never was able to get it to cut and gave up and put it on the shelf. I have MTC for my cricut and have always like the program because of the ease of use for it. I was wondering if it would be worth the effort to use MTC for this machine or just get rid of it. I bought the KNK because I researched the die machines for weeks and felt this was the best for the money $549.00 but after my experience with the software thought what a waste of money. Now I am deciding whether this machine is worth trying to learn or just dump it.
The KNK’s are GREAT cutters and I’ve always been available, along with several support sites, to help new owners get started and be successful owners. I think you would very much enjoy using MTC with your KNK and can even upgrade to the latest version and install into another folder, if you want to continue using your Cricut. I can help you with that, as well.
First of all, let’s figure out which model you purchased. The very first KNK’s were released just over 6 years ago and they cost over $900, so you’ve had yours less than 6 years. Can you tell me what label is on it and measure the width of it? That will help me figure out the exact model and then I can direct you to which MTC user manual to use for reference.
I am looking to buy a knk. I would love to know which machine would be best for me, and if anyone has a used machine they would like to sell.
Thanks!
What do you plan to use the KNK to cut? I’m happy to advise you!
I purchased my machine in 2006 in its first release. Not too long thereafter I upgraded my computer and found that it wasn’t compatible with my KNK Element anymore. I don’t use my machine any more because of the compatibility issue. Are the newer machines designed to be more compatible especially when you upgrade your computer? I had to buy a special cord to try and make it compatible, but had issues with that. I loved using my cutter and made several invitations with it. I just got sooooo frustrated with it that it collected a lot of dust. Now that I am homeschooling I would like to create lapbooks with a cutter. Is there a place where I can trade in my old knk element? (Sorry for being long-winded
)
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I wanted to trade-in for a current KNK machine and I live in Palm Bay, FL.
Hi Sherry, We now have drivers that work with 64 bit computers, so you can go back to using just the USB cable with your Element. I’ll be happy to help you get that set up! Regarding a trade in, we had a program last year for trading in older cutters for the KNK Zing. I can check to see if KNK USA plans to start that up again any time soon. I’ll also email you directly so that we can chat more.
I have a zing cutter machine and artistic view crystals and no clue how to use either. Do you teach on these? Let me know so we can work something out.
I teach the Zing but I do not teach AC. Instead, I support Make The Cut, which is a user-friendly program that also cuts to the Zing. You might also find some benefit in watching the videos we have for the Zing… which show how to install a blade, how to insert the mat, etc… things that are not related to the software.
I did create a video showing how to cut a shape from AC to the Zing. You can access that video here: http://www.iloveknk.com/Cutting-to-Zing-from-AC/
If you ever have an interest in Make The Cut, I think you’d really like it. The price is only $58.36 and you can save files from there in SVG format to them bring into AC for the more advanced rhinestone designing. Other than just cutting RH patterns, I recommend MTC for everything else because it has so many designing features and, again, is much easier to learn.
