Designers and artists love the X-ACTO knife's ability to produce careful and meticulous cuts with consistency, while engineers praise the knife's durable design and reliability. X-ACTO knives can make precise cuts through a variety of different craft materials: All grades of paper, Mat board, Foam board, Delicate fabrics, Sheet metal, Plastic, and more. The original X-ACTO knife has been praised for more than 50 years as the standard for precision. Attaining this level of precision, accuracy and reliability starts with supreme quality craftsmanship. All X-ACTO knives are built with a carbon steel blade for a reliable cut every time. Additionally, they are crafted with a sleek design that fits comfortably in the hand, allowing you to continue making the precision cuts needed to finish the job, no matter how long it takes.
