Office Depot, of all places, is blowing out several X-Acto items. In the Danville, IL store there were about a dozen 100 packs of #11 blades for $8.00 a box left after I got my lifetime supply. Other blades and several handles similarly discounted. These were marked down in steps so you might find them cheaper later or at other stores. This is an item just about everyone uses in Rocketry so I thought it might be of interest. Lots of art supplies, envelopes and stuff you would expect to be there as well at 50% off or more. I have no interest in the company. Neutrodyne

Keep them VERY tightly sealed until you need them. If you have them long enough you may end up with a lot of rust. ; )

Rats. I didn't read this close enough. I've been searching for a cheap source of #11 SCALPEL blades...

I'll put them in leftover blood sugar test strip packages (they look like a
35MM film canisters, but seal much tighter). I knew they'd be good for something. Neutrodyne
the ones I've gotten always have a light coating of (oil?) on them.
Mine too. I have a box that I got when I was a teenager (er, two decades ago) that's still in good shape.
