X-ACTO Rubber-Barrel Hobby Knife, X3000 Knife, Includes Three #11 Blades - Textured Grip, Makes Precise Cuts

I previously had a cheap knockoff x-acto knife that was solid metal that just killed my hand during long use. Glad I spent the few extra dollars for something a little more ergonomic. (And yes the cap doesn't hold on super tight but this isn't an issue for me personally)

If you use an X-acto knife a lot like I do, this is the holder for you! Very comfortable in the hand, storage in the end for extra blades, and a protective top. Perfect. The only thing I would add is more colors!!

The cap is the Achilles heel of this otherwise great and comfortable to use knife. Unless I tape the cap on, it falls off in my tool kit and either the tip gets damaged or it cuts something else. X-ACTO, please fix this one thing.

I remember Exacto knives from when I was a young typesetter and we had to do pasteup. This one is fancier, with a nice ergonomic rubber grip and good cap to keep me safe, but otherwise seems the same. No pasteup boards nowadays but this comes in handy, with such a thin sharp blade for lots of things, most notably getting those pesky plastic wrappers off dropper bottles and other bottles, labels that seal boxes, and other packaging. (Though I use a box cutter for bigger jobs.) I don't use it a lot — still on my first blade — but very glad to have it in the house. I'd welcome other more visible colors, as it gets a bit obscured on my desk.

Love the silver color over darker surfaces. As always sharpie stays permanently

I bought this by accident when in a pinch once and I am so glad I did! Its sharpness and durability is unbeatable! If you are a paper model crafter, this will be your knife! In addition I find it to be the easiest to use because of its sharpness and doesn’t dull overly quickly. 10 out of 10!

The rubber grip is not attached to the knife shaft so no matter how hard you try to twist the shaft and tighten the blade it slips and doesn’t get tight. The blade can be easily pulled out by hand. IT’S NOT A SAFE KNIFE as the blade is loose and can come out while cutting. Sending this one back to exchange for another one to see if maybe this one was just defective. Will post an update once I get the replacement. UPDATE 1/13/2025: I received a replacement knife, and this seems to works fine. I'm able to tighten the blade and it stays in and doesn't move. So far so good. However, I'm now nervous about over-tightening in case this causes the glue holding the grip to separate from the tightening shaft, and then I end up with what I had on the first knife which was a rubber grip that just twisted freely and wouldn't tighten the blade. Fingers crossed this one stays intact. The design is great with the comfortable grip and the blade storage. I just need it to do it primary duty which is to first be a solid and safe knife.

As advertised, well made and easy to use. Great quality

Com pouco uso não segura mais a lâmina com firmeza. Após algumas passadas, a lâmina fica solta e cai.

I'm a real person; not a paid reviewer. this is a great x-acto knife b/c it's like a pen. and there are extra blades stored inside. would recommend.

What‘s the most important part on a hobby knife? Correct, the blade! Bus since blades are pretty sharp, you‘d want those bad boys to be fixed properly, right? Well, then do not i repeat DO NOT buy this crapy thing. Looks good, feels great in hand, but cuts like ASS. No control whatsoever because it doesn‘t close snugly enough. The Blade is always lose because the opening‘s still miles wide. Buy Revell or literally anything else. Even Citadel has better knives, and they suck!! If this still does not convince you, for the love of god buy kevlar protection for your fingers. I am not kidding. This thing is ass.

Easy to grip but a bit awkward to tighten the blade.

Love the product. Prime free shipping without the free shipping, great thanks for the lesson.
