• XACTO BLADE UPDATE: X611 X-LIFE, bought 'em. $32.97 for 100pc. www widgetsupply.com Wrapped in coated brown paper--wiped blade with lacquer thinner to get rid of coating. *NM*
  • Been using scalpels for 15+ years. These blades slice like scalpels, but don't "flex" under pressure like the thinner scalpel blades do. Got 'em in 2 days (but then I live real close to Albany). *NM*
    • I used scalpels for a while.....have a REAL PRETTY scar on my palm, 2 inches, to prove it!! *NM*
      • LOL Dave those things are dangerous. I know this from first HAND experience. I will only use them for decals or BMF. *NM*
  • Took me 23 years to go through my first box of those! Much better deal than buying the little refills at a store. *NM*
  • Each blade is individually wrapped? *NM*
    • No, all wrapped together in coated, brown paper. They stick together--why I wiped with lacquer thinner. *NM*
      • The sticking together part: I've cut myself getting them apart. LOL. *NM*
        • I've done that, too, Bill. (FWIW, gettin' scalpel blades unpeeled from the crimped wrapper is just as dangerous.) *NM*
  • I paid less than that and that's cdn $$$. *NM*
