Gets the Job Done. Great For Doomsdayers.

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

Very sharp and worked well for the task I had. However, be careful getting it out of the package. The protective plastic over the blade flew off upon opening, and I stabbed my thumb. It bled quite a bit... all over my sink, my shirt, my countertops. It looked like a mini massacre had taken place in my bathroom. My husband walked in and thought I had finally given in to my threats about our demon cat that attacks the walls at random while growling and hissing...until Fluffy McLucifer walked in and began to lick the blood that had dripped on the floor.
While I do not recommend using this tool to harm any animals because that's just plain wrong, I strongly suggest putting it aside in your underground bunker to use as a weapon in case of a zombie apocalypse or re-election of President Trump.

Great knife but crummy caps - easy fix.

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

The knifes gets 5 stars. The caps get nothing. I ordered 3 and they all fit with slop. Turn the knifes down and the caps fall off. It did on all 3. Hey X-ACTO are you listening to your customers complaints abour your caps? Bring back the old caps that stay on.

Easy fix. The part on the cap on the side that is slotted, with the dimple on the inside to grab the knurled blade cap. This is molded too straight to the body of the cap putting no pressure on the knurled blade cap. At the base of this tang where it meets the rest of the cap, heat with a lighter about 2 inches away for 7-10 seconds to warm the plastic. Then push the tang in on the end about 20 degrees off plane. Hold until plastic cools. Your cap now will never fall off until you take it off.

DANGEROUS piece of junk.....Blade falls while using & Loose Cap.

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

Even during the first use, the blade kept falling. I was just cutting a cake cardboard circle. At first, I thought may be it did not arrive properly assembled and so the blade was not properly secured. After every adjustment possible, the blade kept on falling from the notch, while cutting. The blade does not even stay attached, for 10 seconds while in use. I had to hold the loose blade in my hand to finish cutting the thin cardboard. NOT SAFE. The "safety" cap is a joke. While you close it with the blade parallel with the cap, it is loose enough to fall down (When you hold the 'pen' upside down, the cap falls off as if it was simply placed on the top.). So, you need to adjust it so the blade and the cap are at an angle. This way the cap becomes secure so it does not fall BUT the blade gets stuck in the cap unless you are lucky it comes out of the cap. Zero star review is not an option, $5 lost.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

The Z-Series X-Acto knife is supposed to be the company's sharpest knife ever.

If it is, I'm not experiencing it. I don't see in real-world use that it cuts any smoother or more accurately than the older knife and blade combo I've had for years. Worse, the knurled grip portion requires constant retightening, an annoying issue that costs this knife stars and one I've not had to this extent on any of my previous X-Acto knives.

If I had to buy a knife again, I would not purchase this disappointment.

Worked Great for Silhouette Cutting

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought this X-Acto knife on the recommendation of some bloggers who do Scherenschnitte and silhouette cutting because, for Christmas, I did two silhouettes--one of my son, the other of my niece--for my mother. I am by no means an expert at fussy-cutting, but I know having the right tools makes beginning efforts and learning technique a heck of a lot easier. Based on their recommendations, I purchased this knife for a very reasonable price, and when I received it, I was pleased to see how sharp it was. It's long enough to feel weighty in the hand but comfortable enough for pencil-like grip to hold it. It was indeed very sharp, and cutting out eyelashes, lips, and bangs--and especially "highlights" in the hair--was much easier with this blad. I have used other blades just picked up in stores without much research, and I did indeed get a much better, more precise cut out of these.

I'm still not an expert, but this novice came out with two silhouettes that clearly looked like the children I intended, so that's got to say something for this knife, right?

Sharp X-Acto Knife For Your Craft Needs

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

I've been using X-Acto knives since the sixth grade when I discovered them. They have been immensely helpful in life and I have them at home, school, and work.

I already had two X-Acto knives at home, but I'm drawn to shiny new objects, so when I saw this gold handled knife with sharper blades, I had to have it. It looks like the regular #1 knife, but with a gold-colored grip area to indicate that this is a sharper version with a "Zirconium Nitride-coated blade." The blade cuts through things effortlessly, but it's a new blade so I'll update over time on how long the sharpness lasts. Included is a blade cover which goes on tight (and gives a screeching sound when you put it on).

As the sharper blades are the same size as the regular #1 blades, I may just upgrade all my blades to these. There is a #2 version of this knife with a bigger handle and bigger blade, but for some reason there are no sharper #2 refill blades.

This is a great crafts knife that is incredibly handy to have. Recommended.

Be careful-very sharp!

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

This little tool is comfortable to use for my small hands and my husband’s larger hands. We use it for diy projects...most recently placing contact paper on furniture. Was able to cut precise lines especially around the edges. We started put using a pairing knife. Thank goodness this was delivered prime fast—you can def tell the areas were we did not use x-acto blade! I like the cover over the blade since the blade is sharp. I saw posts that people actually use this to brutalize animals...wow smh...made me sick to my stomach!! There’s special place in hell for people who hurts the elderly, kids & animals! Anyway good item to have on hand for crafters and diy ppl!

Wonderfully sharp and thin.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

I lost my cheap craft knife somehow the other day and when looking for a new one this kept being suggested.
I keep hearing artists saying that their Xacto is the best knife ever and they'd never be without one but I took it to be hyperbole.
Well, it seems it wasn't. This is seriously sharp and works like a scalpel rather than a knife, but still does everything a knife would do. At least in my case when it is only used for cutting paper and thin card stock etc.
Honestly I think I will be buying X-Acto blades from now on. It is awesome and can be used very precisely in a way the usual knives I have used cannot and the blade is thin enough for whatever I can think of yet strong enough that I needn't worry overmuch about it snapping.
Apparently all those X-Acto fans know what they're talking about.

exceedingly sharp cutting knife

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

Love this cutting tool. It's lovely to handle. Comes with a protective cap. You will need to buy a steel ruler to guide-run it along as it will cut through any wood or plastic guide, it's that sharp. The blade is quite flexible, so it needs a guide edge - and I agree with one commentator who said it was sharper than a sharp knife after a knife sharpening conference!

Amazing scalpel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

It takes a lot beating, very sturdy, light, has a good grip and the blade supplied is razor sharp and holds the edge for very long time.
I use it mainly for plastic model kits, but also for paper models where the cut must be flawless, its a lot lighter than swan-morton scalpels so for me the handling is lot easier
Only downside is that replacement blades (Zirconium Nitride-coated blades) for this are very hard to get, but after a month of use i didn't need a new blade so far

To be Blunt...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 30, 2018

... I wrote a bad review of this knife in error having bought this and a Derwent Pencil Sharpener at the same time. The pencil sharpener sucks and ruined two good pencils but the X-Acto is pretty good. Is it better than a scalpel? Time will tell but it feels ok in the hand and it is sharp. Get this instead of the aforementioned sharpener.
