Where to buy #1 x-acto knives?

Micro Mark probably offers them in bulk, as well as Phoenix Models in Florida. The changed to all wooden ships a few years back and had an extensive inventory of tools.

Craig

Neither one had it.

In the arts and crafts stores, like Michaels, A.C.Moore, etc.

Does anyone know if this knife on ebay will take a regular x-acto blade?

Is anyone familiar with this knife? Can a regular x-acto blade be used?

Ron

Those look like a disposable version.

Check out on line Squadron, Great Planes, or Micro Mark. Our your local drafting supply shop. Great Planes sells them in boxes of 100 and any good hobby shop should carry them too.

Also check out Model Expo. They recently had a very good deal on a pack of 100 #11 blades.

-- What does it mean when the flag at the Post Office is flying at half-mast? They're hiring.

Just the other day, I received a bulk pack of 500 X-Acto-brand, bulk-in-box #11 blades from a local drafting supplies dealer. Can't go wrong with one of them.

Looks to me like a regular #11 blade, but it does not look like it is replaceable. These look like your average disposable razor to me.

Ask the seller.

As for your original question, bulk blades are readily availble in packs of 100 blades (#11) but I don't think you will find bulk or discounted handles anywhere. Best you can probalby do there is to see if you can by a quantity at wholesale cost from a kindly shop (try craft stores and woodworking shops as well as hobby shops. Big Box stores like Home Depot and Lowes are probably not your better choices).

last time i bought one, it was $8. i bet it's gone up 100%.

while flimsy and not hard to break, the dollar store 3 handle, 11 blade packs are excellent blades. break a handle, throw it away. (slavage that aluminum!) they are $1.49 here now, but still worth it.
