I had this rant several years ago....... I tossed out my X-acto blades and told anyone that they were in the garbage and they were welcome to them....... but I would pitty them if they got them..........and No Returns!
Anyway I used Excel for a long time and found these on ebay for $12.40 USD per 100 blades............ordered 11-04 and got them today 11-07. Haven't tried them out yet, but they HAVE to be better than X-acto.......... Understand that I only use these for plunge cuts and very small parts so these will last me a pretty good while......... 98% of my cutting is done with Fiskers Micro Tip easy use scissors................ john |

It just so happens my father owns a company that sells all different kinds of hobby and Xacto blades. So I have used a lot of brands, numbers, and mpn. His customers had a huge problem with X-acto when they changed to manufacturing their blades outside of the US. His customers use # 11 and #16 blades to scrape at printed circuit boards. They found that when the switch happened the tips started breaking. I tend to agree as well that the G11-100 #11 blade from American Safety & Razor is way better than the Xacto X611 and X811. Although the new Xacto Z blade has had some good feedback, I think the price is still high. For the money and quality I like using a blade I found rummaging around my dads warehouse. I did not ask where he manufacturers the blade but I like it and it holds up to my slicing and scraping in sculpting projects on dried bone clay as well as my card stock cutting. Its the fls-s-11m blade and Im pretty sure it runs for just under $15
