I'm looking go a craft knife I can carry on me that uses x-acto style blades and is compact and safe. Any recommendations? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I like the Olfas myself but that is also what I am used to. They use their own blades but they are very nicely made.
Olfa. I use either the slim metal one pictured above or a very compact black one with a single sturdy slide out blade. You screw these down to lock it.
Stat Gear has a round keychain xacto knife which unscrewed from the key ring. I purchased mine through KickStarter. A Christy knife is a good choice.
Olfa have 3 variants of their stainless steel retractable cutters for their 9mm blades. The SVR-1 is the original, the SVR-2 improved the tip and introduced an auto locking mechanism of sorts. These accepted regular 9mm blades, stainless steel blades or black carbon steel blades. SAC-1 kept none of these changes but a allowed for blades with a more acute angel (30 degrees) specially made for crafting. If you want a heavier blade go for the CK1 or CK-2 (also known as the 26B and the 34B) , if you want a finer blade you have their designers knives (216) and art knives (several models but the 157b takes x-acto type blades) from my S-A-M-S-U-N-G S9+ via T-A-P-A-T-A-L-K
