Blades for X-Acto knives seem like such a small item that reviewing them would be unimportant. But this is not true, these %2311 blades have been an important tool in my life as a studio artist since the 1970s. My first media was weaving and this tool was important for cutting yarn, trimming ends and many other cutting functions - more useful than scissors. Over time I transitioned to mixed media using wood, paint, beads and other miscellany. In fact I own at least a dozen holders in a variety of styles that serve different functions. They serve uses in the design prices, making, finishing, opening boxes, shipping and endless other tasks. They are convenient to keep in various locations. I went to insert a new blade recently and discovered my replacement blade container was empty. SHOCK, I was legit stunned immediately ordered replacements. Life is now calm and relaxed, order is restored to the Universe and my ability to proceed with creativity and creation is intact. Life is good.
