I cut a lot of leather using my craft knife and I have found that the sharper blades are more reliable, less dangerous, and far more enjoyable to use. I have been buying the normal x-acto blades for a long time but I bought these on a whim.

The X-life blades are scalpel-sharp and hold their edge longer than the standard X-acto blades. These X-life blades have an anti-rust coating in case you use a single blade long enough for it to rust... this is a feature of questionable usefulness but is mostly harmless.

If there's anything I don't like about this product it's the packaging. The blades inside the plastic package are wrapped in paper and are naked. Be careful when opening the paper and it'll be fine. I would have preferred to see a protective sleeve over the blades or something but it's probably not necessary.

4.0 out of 5 stars X-Life Blades, November 23, 2010

I just ordered these and didn't receive the box pictured. Instead, I got X-Life blades. This is important because I bought X-Life blades once before because I thought they would be better. I do a lot of papercraft, and I thought these would stay sharp longer. They don't!

Instead, I find that these are initially sharper than normal blades, but dull much more quickly.

I'll admit I'm a little rough on blades, but the standard blades stood up to my abuse better.

I gave them 4 stars because they are very sharp, and are decent blades, but I think the standard blades are better.

These blades are sharp as scalpels. I don't sharpen used blades because I cut really hard materials that chip the blades beyond repair. X-acto blades are stronger and last longer than third-party knock-offs.
