Precision-cut intricate details in paper, plastic, and balsa with control

Precision cutting requires a knife you can control instinctively, and X-Acto's Axent delivers that familiar #1 handle geometry in anodized aluminum that feels substantial in hand. The knurled grip provides secure control during extended cutting sessions, while solid aluminum construction maintains dimensional stability, the handle won't warp or flex when applying pressure through resistant materials.

The included #11 fine point blade handles the full range of studio work: scoring illustration board, trimming mounted prints, cutting stencils from acetate, shaping balsa for architectural models. That classic pointed profile excels at both straight cuts guided against a steel ruler and freehand curves that demand immediate response to your hand movements. The blade cuts cleanly through paper, plastic, film, and cloth without the tearing or compression that duller tools cause.

Anodized color options add visual distinction when multiple knives sit on your workspace, grab the right tool without searching. The included safety cap protects both blade and fingers during storage. Whether you're trimming photo mats, cutting intricate paper designs, or building scale models, this knife provides the control and durability that precise work demands.
