Knife Blades
what is the purpose of the different X-acto knife blades?
I have had an X-acto knife for years. It came with different types of blades- a squarish looking one, a circular one, a jagged one, and the regular diagonal style. Are the uses for each blade quite different? Or is it just a preference to use different style blades?
This doesn't say the shape of them just the size number..
#2 — Larger version of #11 blade, designed for use with #2 or #5 knives. Sharp angle for precision cutting of medium to heavy-weight materials. Available for bulk purchase or in a safety dispenser package.
#10 — For general cutting, carving, correcting stencils. Fits #1 and X2000 knives.
#11 — Extremely sharp point for fine angle cutting and stripping. Fits #1 and X2000 knives. Also available in stainless steel. Available for bulk purchase or in a safety dispenser package.
#11 Modified — Similar to #11 blade, but with a broader top for a stronger, more flexible point.
#16 — For stenciling, scoring, etching. Fits #1 and X2000 knives. Available for bulk purchase or in a safety dispenser package.
#18 — 1/2" chisel for deep cross cuts and paint scraping. Fits #2 and #5 knives.
#22 — For general shaping, whittling, trimming. Fits #2 and #5 knives.
#23 — Double-edge for close quarter, angled corners, stripping. Fits #2 and #5 knives.
#24 — Close corner cuts for templates, mats, deburring, and trimming. Fits #2 and #5 knives. Available for bulk purchase.
#25 — General carving, whittling, heavy cutting. Fits #2 and #5 knives.
#28 — Hooked for curved shaping, whittling, leather carving, lino cutting, etc. Fits #2 and #5 knives.
