The best xacto blades to this day. Oct 28, 2011
By J.F. As a designer who deals with a lot of print based production, I go through a TON of xacto knives. #11 blades are your best friend as a designer.
On the regular #11 blades, I'd use them for a while before they'd go dull, and they lasted for a few days each. Usually it would all go downhill after the very tip of the blade would break off. $3-4 per pack of blades really add up over time if you calculate the costs.
I read online xacto themselves were giving out free Z series blades for anyone to try, and I got my hands on one a few days ago. I've been using it now, cutting 80lb cover stock, and 30lb text weight paper, and so far the tip hasnt broken off yet, while the old #11 blades would have by now with the same amount of usage.
I have a more modern handle which is coated with rubber and more ergonomic, much more comfortable and easy to use when cutting. I put the new Z series blade into my nice xacto handle, and it cuts like a dream. Like a hit knife through butter.
In the end, it's a xacto knife, we've had them for years. They've improved upon the design and quality of metal to make it better, so from now on I'll be using the Z series blades when I cut things by hand and design.
I highly recommend these blades to anyone who's a designer, student, or just into crafts and uses an xacto knife frequently.

Five star non-toy Feb 23, 2012
By DPG70 These blades are very sharp and hold an edge longer than the original ones. X-Acto lovers are going to be happy with these new z-series #11 blades as am I. However, Amazon requires I rate this product as a toy and this I cannot do as it is not, or should it ever be used as, a toy.
