"X-ACTO was always a part of the family printing business. I still have the original (3 piece) set in a wooden box - somewhere. When I was in elementary school about 65 years ago I carved an elephant from the thickest piece of wood I could find with them. Kind of a skinny one because all the free wood I could find was not very thick. Still have that too and I know where that is. About ten feet away." 
- Sid, Utah

"Yes, seemed very tight and exact ... regarding its cutting ability. Would buy more as needed."

Creative!

"I use X-ACTO knives to hand carve intricate egg shell art."
Malea C., Indiana

Build It!

“I’ve been building models for 50 years. I worked as an artist in the printing and sign industry for over 25 years. Presently I’m employed as a model builder. I’ve had an X-ACTO knife in my hand for most of my life.”
Dave R., Pennsylvania

What a Rockin' Tip!

“Hey, my name is Joe, and I like to build electric guitars. Personally, I feel like my tool rack wouldn’t be complete without at least one X-ACTO knife. I’ve literally used one on every guitar I’ve made to date in one way or another. They’ve helped me remove old frets and fret boards. They’ve scraped binding and helped to remove stubborn wood glue. I even use them to cut and bevel my pick guards. Basically, they’re a tool that has a thousand more uses than just cutting, and I couldn’t think of a better use for them!
Joseph J., Virginia

How Exciting!

“I use X-ACTO knives to help clean the accumulated dirt clinging to fossils that we retrieve from the Calvert Cliffs along the western shore of Chesapeake Bay. They also come in handy when cutting plaster of Paris wraps prior to wrapping large specimens.”
William F., Maryland
