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

great product

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 aren't 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. Note: These are NOT toys. I'm not sure why the word "toy" is used in association with this tool, which is NOT for use by children. They are too sharp and potentially unsafe for use by anyone who is not a trained adult. Architectural Models I Have Used These On: Reims Cathedral: Scale Architectural Paper Model (Cathédrale de Reims English, French, German, Spanish and Italian Edition) Notre-Dame de Paris (Architecture et Modelisme) Chartres Cathedral: Scale Architectual Paper Model Schreiber-Bogen Cologne Cathedral Card Model

Have used these for many years. Dependable and they are consistently razor sharp. A strop can easily crisp up the edge prolonging the use factor.

I used these for a class and it was very helpful to have lots of refills. They work great to cut mat board and foam core. You get a lot of blades for a great price

I was specifically looking for a pack of replacement blades that has the safety dispenser/disposal box -- better than needing a separate sharps container for spent blades (not to mention much easier and safer to store/get new blades out). The description for the 40 count pack mentions it, and the pictures make it hard to figure out, so I ordered them. No safety dispenser, just a box of 40 blades, packed such that you'd better be damn careful opening them (wrapped in plastic and paper inside a tiny box). Someone needs to update the listing description to be clear that the 15 ct pack has the dispenser and the 40 count pack does NOT. They're Xacto blades -- they work. 5 stars for the blades. 0 stars for the packaging/garbage description.

Works well. Arrives a little oily likely due to manufacturing.

Nice to have a whole stack of them ready to go, never have to worry about running out again.

I have used X-ACTO blades for more years than I can remember. They are super sharp and stay sharp a long time. Be careful though or you will have scars all over yourself. LOL
