X-ACTO Knife Blades, # 11 Blades, Classic Fine Point, Pack Of 100 - Sharp, Durable, For Cutting and Trimming

I recently purchased the X-acto blades after a disappointing experience with cheaper alternatives, and I am beyond impressed with the quality of these blades. They are worth every penny! Unlike the cheaper blades I tried before, these X-acto blades stay sharp even after multiple cuts and the tips remain sturdy without bending. The difference in quality is truly remarkable. If you're looking for reliable, long-lasting blades for your projects, look no further. I highly recommend the X-acto blades - they are insanely good!

Good quality, would like it to be in a container that also holds used blades

Expensive, but worth the cost as the cheap ones are only sharp briefly and wear out quickly

I burn through these blades when working projects, buying bulk just makes sense. These blades are blued unlike the silver finish in the smaller packs. These blades hold an edge well and from what I have experienced, the tips are a bit more resilient than the silver type. These blades arrive wrapped in paper and coated with oil. Depending upon what is being cut, the blades will need to be cleaned prior to use.

Use for crafts always buy name brand

I started using X-Acto knives when I was 11 (1963) for building and customizing model car kits and other hobbies. This was the knife that my older brother used for his own custom car models. When I became a graphic designer in 1975, X-Acto knives were the most critical art tool and an industry standard. We didn't have computers then and cut everything by hand for print reproduction art. No other brand of blades were ever used in the advertising and graphics industry. I have used them continually since then as a lighting and furniture designer and builder for the last 30 years. All totalled, I've used X-Acto #11 blades professionally and virtually every day in my studio for 46 years. I could not imagine my professional life without them. ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES! EVER. Competitor's blades are useless. They are nowhere near as sharp and they lose their point immediately. I've found that #11 blade is THE most versatile of all the X-Acto blade shapes and that the "hobby" blades offered by X-Acto are oddly shaped and uncomfortable to work with. The #11 DOES IT ALL, which is why it's the #1 art industry standard. Also, not a single poorly made blade in the 46 years I've used them.

The blades are sharp but the tips break off easily. I read this detail before I purchased them but the price was attractive for the number of blades so I took my chances.

I have been using/buying these blades for many years. The quality has never failed. Always sharp. Such a great value!
