I've used a regular X-Acto with all the fixings, a Wide Hobby with every with all the blades, I've a fingertip x-acto 360 as well as the full size x-acto 360 blade ergonomic, a regular hobby knife ergonomic, etc... i've even tried different higher quality blades, but nothing has ever held a candle to this art knife combined with the ak-1/5b blades.
