This 16 tool isn't meant to be used to score paper. It can be used after it has been dulled. You could use the back of a kitchen knife, or a scribing tool from Fiskars, which has a scribe on one end and a folding tool on the other. If you want to use the 16 tool, you'll need to dull it first.
Selected User Reviews For X-Acto X-Life No. 16 Scoring Blades
It's total nonsense. Real blades don't bend at the tip with just a little bit of pressure. It's a good value for money. The blades, on the other hand, are a complete waste of time. I'm sick to death of knockoffs from other countries, which use phony packaging and avoid copyright laws because of their labor practices. The genuine blades are quite costly. However, they perform admirably. A real artist will be irritated in a hundred ways by these. BUYING THESE IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. Keep a little money aside for the real deal. There are only a few examples of them in this collection. br>br>I discovered the real ones on a couple of different websites.
These are knock-off blades that I received. I have two more X-rays in my collection. Acto X- The blue is different, the stamped logo is different, and the 16 blade is not stamped in the United States of America. There are burrs and the tips are easily broken off. The box on the left contains the garbage I received, while the box on the right contains the genuine article. SCAM! BEWARE!.
I use them to cut templates on metal surfaces. It's also simple to change the direction of the 16 blades to follow curved lines or surfaces.
For years, since art school, I've been a huge fan of the 16 blade. As a semi-professional, I'm now able to: I can't play with less-than-professional materials as a professional artist/crafter (and a professional designer). than- blades with the best performance These blades last far longer than the 11 blades and far longer than any other 16 blades, and they cut mattes, paper, metal foil, cardboard, adhesives, and even wiring and woods far better than the 11 blades. There are a lot of uses for these blades, and they are well worth the money. If you don't use a straight edge, you might end up cutting something you didn't intend to cut.
I'm almost 100% sure I got a knock of a batch of blades. In the entire pack, only about ten of them were sharp, and they easily broke. I'm very dissatisfied and frustrated. I had hoped that the issue had been resolved after seeing other reviews with the same issue, but it appears that it has not been.
This is the ideal etching instrument. These blades are used to etch images onto dyed eggs. I don't etch Easter pictures; instead, I etch everyday objects such as flowers I've seen, trees, and so on. However, I needed a blade that could etch tiny, detailed, intricately designed lines, and this blade was up to the task. It could be used for any type of work, including stenciling. The point must be razor-sharp, which this blade achieves.
It's an improvement over 11. In the pre-production stage, I used 16 blades. For graphic design production, there are days when you need to use a computer. These are the exact words that come to mind when I think of you. sharp and durable The tip does not break off as easily as the 11s, and the cutting edge is smaller, resulting in fewer mishaps. 11s were only used for cutting foam board in the old days, but 16s are strong enough to cut thick matt board without losing their tip, and they were the mainstay of the design firm production artists I art directed.
I would buy this product again if the need arises. It was well packaged and arrived on time.
