Review: A Staple! - I purchased this X-ACTO knife for a Christmas craft project where I was making handmade gifts for all 25 of my coworkers. I needed to cut intricate Santa shapes out of cardstock, and after trying to do it all with scissors, I quickly realized it was going to take forever—especially the tiny interior details. This knife made the process so much easier! It allowed me to make clean, precise cuts that would have been nearly impossible with scissors. Paired with a self-healing cutting mat, it turned a very time-consuming project into something much more manageable. The handle feels comfortable, the blade is sharp, and it gave me the control I needed for detailed paper crafting. If you do any type of crafting that requires precision cutting, this is absolutely worth having in your toolbox. It saved me so much time and helped my handmade gifts turn out exactly how I envisioned them. ## Features - The sharpest and most durable X-Acto blade ever - Perfect for delicate, precision cutting and trimming - Easily cuts paper, plastic, balsa, thin metal, cloth, film and acetate - Zirconium nitride coating for durability - Includes one classic #11 blade, one lightweight aluminum handle and safety cap ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005KRSWM6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #457 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #2 in Art Blades | | Blade Material | Aluminum | | Brand | X-Acto | | Brand Name | X-Acto | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 33,523 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00079946036015 | | Handle Material | Aluminum | | Handle Type | Manual-Retractable | | Included Components | X-ACTO #1 Z-Series Knife, #11 classic fine point zirconium nitride-coated blade, and safety cap | | Item Length | 9 inches | | Item Type Name | Art Knife | | Manufacturer | Elmers | | Manufacturer Part Number | XZ3601 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | a | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Model Number | XZ3601W | | Product Style | Z-Series #1 Knife | | UPC | 079946036015 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** Aluminum - **Brand:** X-Acto - **Color:** Silver - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00079946036015 - **Handle Material:** Aluminum - **Item Length:** 9 Inches - **Manufacturer:** Elmers - **Material:** Aluminum - **Style:** Z-Series #1 Knife - **UPC:** 079946036015 ## Images ![#1 Z-Series Precision Utility Knife, Metal, Silver, Aluminum Handle, Includes Safety Cap - For Precise, Fine Cuts - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71n0EbOsYfL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where do you buy replacements for the #1 knife blade? Searched Amazon and internet.** A: Thank you for your question. The handle series is called a #1 however the blades that used are a #11. You can locate these exact replacement blades under ASIN #B007VERA1K (5pk) or #B005JDF28S (100pk). **Q: Will the tip break if used for lifting a push-on back of a wristwatch to replace watch battery?Thank you** A: The tip will definitely break if you try to pry the back off of a watch. **Q: what is zirconium nitride coating does it decompose plastic? (such as gunpla model kits)** A: Zirconium nitride is an inert ceramic material. Its job is to make the cutting edge harder than the metal underneath would be alone, which will help keep the blade sharp for longer. The same coating is pretty common on things like drill bits. Your model parts should be safe! **Q: does zirconium nitride coating do harm or decompose plastics? i was going to used this to cut nub marks for plastic model kits?** A: We use these for lots of plastic mold work at our shop and have never had a problem with any of our plastic molds. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice light-duty X-Acto knife *by H***X on May 21, 2026* Great X-Acto knife, on the lighter duty-side, cuts paper well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Staple! *by B***4 on July 15, 2026* I purchased this X-ACTO knife for a Christmas craft project where I was making handmade gifts for all 25 of my coworkers.

I resized the video to 400x225 from 1080p HD and I am hoping that Amazon will not mess this up too much in the video conversion process. ------------- Update: The video quality here really is blocky and terrible even though I uploaded a 1080p crystal clear video. Contacted Amazon support to see what is going on ------------ Original review This is a great X-acto knife. Actually, this is my second X-acto knife. The previous one had the problem where the blade would loosen over time with just regular handling. This one, the blade does not tend to do that, so quite happy with it. The knife is plenty sharp so it can cut mostly anything that I intend to cut with it i.e. cardboard, plastic, paper etc. If I have to apply a ton of pressure, I would get a home-depot style cutting knife. I prefer to use the x-acto for precise cutting. The only con with pretty much all of the x-acto knives is that their caps tend to slide off easily. I like to carry my cutting knives in my pocket when I am working on a project - since I tend to misplace them all the time, so you can see that cap sliding off is fairly off-putting. Apart from that, it is a great knife. See my video review for its quality. ## Frequently Bought Together - X-Acto Precision Utility Knife Metal Silver 9.0 inches Aluminum Handle Z-Series #1 Includes Safety Cap - anezus Self Healing Sewing Mat, 12inch x 18inch Rotary Cutting Mat Double Sided 5-Ply Craft Cutting Board for Sewing Crafts Hobby Fabric Precision Scrapbooking Project - X-Acto® Knife Blades, No. 11 Blade With Safety Dispenser, Pack Of 15 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1182629-1-z-series-precision-utility-knife-metal-silver-aluminum-handle](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1182629-1-z-series-precision-utility-knife-metal-silver-aluminum-handle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
