Take your pick! I'm sure an Xacto knife could be used for any of them, in some way. :p


Xacto knife in Fine Arts: We use this to cut paper and other materials and make models. Now take your Xacto knife and carve me and use it to creat a 3D model of this object using basswood.

Xacto knife in Mechanical Arts: We use the knife to cut cables. Now take it out and carefully cut the cable between the oscillator and the engine.

Xacto knife in Liberal Arts: Let's discuss the properties of the Xacto knife. What is it? How do you know it IS an Xacto knife? Where can you find Xacto knives? When can they be useful? And why do Xacto knives exist, what are their purpose?

I still have to. I guess it's somewhat sharp. That's the only thing I can gather.

I tend to have a few of such hobby knives around, since you never know if a chance of assembling a model kit will present itself.

Come to think of it, I do not actually own any hobby knives from the X-Acto brand. I got Niceday and Skandia blades.

I feel the same way about all paper books. But no, everything fleeting reminds us of our own decay, so it's perfectly logical. I must say, I feel a bit sad, too.

I know, right? Clay tablets? That was all the way during the 'Pharaoh TETi'-incarnation. I remember leaving chizzeled posts in that one. It took me weeks! Replying to your constant spamming of the Nile stance was a nightmare. It's funny how technology withers and dies, but we don't.
