Review on X ACTO XZ3601 Knife - Enhanced Safety for Precision Cutting by Christopher Sullivan

Sharp X-Acto Craft Knife

I've been using X-Acto knives since sixth grade when I first discovered them. They have been very useful in life and I wear them at home, to school and to work. I already had two X-Acto knives at home but I'm drawn to shiny new items and when I saw this knife with a gold handle and sharper blade I had to have this one. It looks like a regular #1 knife, but with a gold-colored grip area that indicates it's a sharper version with a 'zirconium nitride coated blade'. The blade slices through things easily, but this is a new blade so I'll update how long it stays sharp over time. A blade sheath is included that fits snugly (and squeaks when tightened). Since the sharper blades are the same size as regular #1 blades, I can easily upgrade all my blades to them. There is a #2 version of this knife with a larger handle and blade, but for some reason there are no sharper replacement #2 blades. This is a great craft knife that is incredibly handy. highlighted.

Pros
  • Protective cap for storing and carrying. Zirconium Nitride coating for durability
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
