X-ACTO 11 Classic Fine Point Replacement Blades, Pack of 40 (X711)

Quality product!

While these blades do their job, they are different from the USA made ones, and dont perform as good. Edge is not as smooth as the blades made here in the US. Also, the non cutting edge feels rough and jagged, and after handling them your hands smell like rusty metal. This doesnt happen with the other ones. I use the xacto to sharpen charcoal pencils and even with all these issues, the blades perform almost the same as the ones made in the USA, almost.

Im not sure why this item is listed as a toy. I gave it 5 stars for educational value because I punctured my thumb with a blade a couple of days ago, and found that to be a very educational experience. It certainly taught me to keep track of what Im holding in my hand, when reaching down to pick up a stray scrap of paper.

THese X-Acto #11 blades are my preferred blades for paper crafting. I build paper-based architectural models, and the precision cutting of pieces for assembly is essential, and these blades rarely disappoint. They arent cheap, but they are not overpriced, either, and their manufacturing quality, durability, and precision make them easily worth the price. I would not opt for a cheaper blade from a different manufacturer. These are made of high quality steel, are coated with fine machine oil so that no oxidization occurs during storage, and are sharp, sharp, sharp. Five stars for hobbyist and crating uses.

A+ Product ,Highly recommended

Awesome blades, great price

As always Xacto makes a great product. My whole family use them. From school work to arts and crafts...i even use mine for some detail work on wood carving projects.

Excellent

Not as sharp as I had expected, esp. for fine paper work. I primarily use them as a cutting stylus. Not really satisfied. Trying medical scalpels next.

There sharp & new
