Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Xacto X3001 Razor Knife: No. 1 Knife with No. 11 Blade - Precision Cutting Tool by Harry Tulsa

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not as sharp as hoped

I've been using Exacto knives for over 20 years so I know how to use them. They are suitable for cutting paper, even thick, matte material. However, they are not sharp enough for softer materials such as fabric or leather. They are better for straight cuts or large curves, but not as good for very complex cuts. You have to cut against a hard impact, you can't cut material free hand. I could switch to using disposable scalpels. They are much cheaper and more flexible in my opinion. Of course you can't apply that much pressure, so it's a compromise between control and reliability.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
