X-Acto - No.1 Precision Knife with 5 Blades

No.1 Precision Knife with 5 Blades

Execute intricate cuts in paper, plastic, and film with surgical control

Delicate work demands a knife that responds to finger pressure rather than fighting it. The X-Acto No.1 handles intricate cuts through paper, acetate, and balsa with the kind of control that separates clean edges from ragged ones. Its lightweight aluminum body eliminates hand fatigue during extended sessions of mask cutting, stencil work, or model construction.

The included No. 11 blades, five in the tuck pack, feature surgical-grade steel honed to fine points that navigate tight curves and detailed trimming without tearing. These blades handle everything from scoring illustration board to stripping film overlays, maintaining sharpness through precise, repeated cuts. The blade's angled tip provides visibility of your cutting line, essential when working with registration marks or following printed templates.

Blade changes take seconds with the chuck-style collar, and the knife's balanced weight distribution keeps your hand steady through complex cutting patterns. Graphic designers cutting comps, printmakers trimming collage elements, and model builders shaping components all reach for this knife when precision matters more than power. The No.1 delivers surgical control for work where a millimeter makes the difference.
