Mystery Blade Identified!

Post by mpizzazz »

I've had this little container of blades for years and thought they were for my swivel knife.
Nope, they also aren't for the circle cutter or anything else I seem to have. Anyone have any idea what kind of knife/cutter they go into?

The container is about 2" long and has nothing on it except the word OPEN and an arrow. Nothing on the blades either.

Looks like they'd be for a straight cutter... like an X-acto knife type thing... but I haven't ever had a package like that, either.

They are much smaller than an exacto blade and....

I just found the knife they fit!!!! Figures, after I post about them after putting it off for a few weeks. I still have no idea who makes it. I better start to use it now that I know I have so many blades for it. :roll:

Interesting timing, I just watched a bookbinding supply video by Diana Trout in which she talked about X-acto knives. Who knew that the basic straight X-acto knife used to be a #11, but is now called a #1? Mine is of the vintage that says #11 on the handle - I had no idea it even had a number. However, the blades for it are still called #11 - and come in both stainless steel and carbonized steel. It seems there's a lot about X-acto knives I don't know - if the selection on Dick Blick is any indication.

My handles are so old, they have no numbers on them or they have worn off. They were in my kit for Basic Design, first year of college, Sept. 1967. Wow, I should have a party for them being 50 years old!
:happywave:

They have #2 and #11 blades but will take all kinds of blades including the woodcarving ones.

I love my X-Acto knives. I can cut with them much better than I can with scissors. But if anyone ever watched me use scissors, you wouldn't doubt it! :lol:
