Have you tried OLFA's compass knives for cutting circles? Good stuff. I even used to use them for plastic models.

I have two knives that I use, both are very asian. One is like an exacto knife, but the blade is one fifth the size. You can buy 100s of them for next to nothing and use the same clamping handle for years. The other is a hobby knife that is popular here made by OLFA. it is their XA-1 and comes with a REALLY SHARP blade. I never used to like the hobby style knife with retractable and break off blades, but this one made me a believer! -M On Jul 3, 2009, at 2:13 PM, Mandy F wrote: But how many do you actually use? We all have favourite knives, but if you are like me you have collected others. I have one that I use all the time - It's an exacto no 2. Has rubber grips and pompoms on it. (yes, you read that right.. 2 pompoms from my daughters socks.... Hey, there were just *there* and I had to.. you know?...) I have a no1 exacto, but it's too skinny for my fingers, and about 5 other knives that I've either impulse bought, or have bought with a board as a set, or just for the blades. They just flop around in my suitcase. Ok, your turn. :) Mandy http://craftandsuch.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/pcgirl http://www.pcgirl.com.au --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
