Customers find the utility knife works well for modeling and craft projects, with smooth and precise cuts, and one customer mentions it handles ebony and rosewood fantastically. The tool is easy to use and offers good value for money. While the build quality receives mixed feedback, with some praising the high-quality blades while others find it flimsy, the blade fit is problematic as customers report the blades don't fit properly in the handle and don't stay in place.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2025Style: Precision Razor Saw SetVerified PurchaseLove this hobby saw works great
- Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2018Style: Precision Razor Saw SetVerified PurchaseAfter snapping open a few Bluetooth locator fobs to replace the batteries, I felt that these blades might do a cleaner job by cutting them rather than using the hammer and chisel they way I did the first dozen or so.
The blades make quick work of these locator shells, slipping right into the groove of the untouched shell and cutting through the plastic with ease. The two images are the original Tile locators, which contain a 3v coin-size battery that is soldered or welded into place. I will be pulling those out and replacing them with a snap-in battery holder on the outside of the case so I can replace the battery every 18-months or so without opening the split case. I won't be putting that on the outside of anything, but there are plenty of opportunities to slip these into a side pocket of a suitcase, backpack, lunch box, camera case or other items you want to track.
As I cut more old locators I get a little better with my technique, but from the first cut, I've found this X-Acto saw the perfect tool for the job! Even as prices on the locators come down, replacing the battery will always be cheaper than replacing an entire unit.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2023Style: Do-It-Yourself SetVerified PurchaseX-ACTO knives have been a favorite of hobbyists for decades. These knives continue that excellence. The packaging has deteriorated significantly. Fit and finish have suffered. Also, replacement blades are stored in the lid, retained by magnets. The weak/cheap magnets do a very poor job of securing the blades.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2012Style: Precision Razor Saw SetVerified PurchaseArived on time in retail package. The plastic was not fused together so you slide the backing out , love this packaging. It is a beneficial novelty other gurus should implement. The blades have 40 TPI and 42 TPI making them " fine" knife. I use it to make Marquette and inlays with exotic hardwoods. The wood is 1/42" thick without any backing a fine sharp blade cuts without leaving splinters, or chafe. One splinter and the piece is unusable. Smooth cuts on hardwood every time and accurate. The blade only cuts when pulling it and dosnt cut when pushing as designed. The bade has a reinforced spine so the thin blade resists bending and bowing - partly due to the pull cut. So all that is impressive but if you know marquet an 1/8" short cut and its a do over same with inla because it's repetitive the short cut miss cut turns into the grand Cannon. I did call customer service to verify the pull cut but " didn't have needed inuformatiin.". The Internet poodle fetched the answer. The best for last is the handle holds the blade wiggeling free-very important fo precise cutting. The bades chage out quickly. The price could be higher and the customer service needs training, however I will by more as they dull from the same retailer and same brand name .
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2023Style: Precision Razor Saw SetVerified PurchaseLiving on the Oregon coast, not a lot of model hobby shops around, or even well stocked hardware stores that carry modeling supplies. Found these online and were shipped and arrived quite quickly. Very pleased with this purchase for my modelling needs as my 60 year old saw blades were almost void of teeth from use over all these years.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2020Style: Precision Razor Saw SetVerified PurchaseI have had one of these for years but lot it. I was delighted to see that they were still made. I was attempting to repair a decorative broken piece on a breakfront glass which required a precision cut with very small teeth as the piece was only about 3/8 wide and a foot long and had to be reglued at top and bottom. The small teeth and handle made it a snap to make the appropriate cut without any further damage or tear-out. The blade is made for small stuff and has a top edge for support. One still has to be careful NOT to use it for purposes it was not intended for as the blade could be bent if one is not careful.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2023Style: Precision Razor Saw SetVerified PurchaseThe very fine kerf is essential for sawing precious metals or any softer metal. I have used these saws on a variety of materials and have found them to stay sharp for a long time. I use my worn saws to cut soft steel and harder metals, they are hard to wear out if used properly, I have saws which are over years old and still sharp.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2024Style: Precision Razor Saw SetVerified PurchaseSaw is sharp like a number of similar saws. I also have zona brand saws and they are better built and just as sharp. Will buy some from here on in.
Pros
Sharp
Thin kerf
Cons
Doesn’t track straight. The saw came with more tooth offset on one side causing it to track. Finally mostly fixed it by honing the side of the blade part way with a fine stone
