Review: Very happy - Great knife, big improvement over the X-acto version I had before
Review: Highly Recommended Knife -- Exceeded My Expectations! - This Excel Retractable Knife is almost identical to the X-acto X-Calibre of 30 years ago. The Excel knife accepts the X-acto X295 blades, which look exactly like the blade that came with the Excel Retractable Knife. The Excel knife also has a very similar appearance to the black version of the X-Acto Deluxe Retractable Blade Knife, which sells for over $8.00 more. The Excel knife has a retractable blade and a pocket clip which allows me to carry it with me at all times without having the blade exposed. I carry other conventional X-acto-type knives in a plastic box for more demanding and accurate cutting, which can be done with their far less expensive replacement blades. However, the Excel Retractable Knife is nearly indispensable to me for quickly separating the protective backing material from the adhesive on vinyl decals and vinyl moldings. This knife is also great for everyday jobs, such as removing cellophane and thin cardboard from packages.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't you love it when you find the perfect tool to solve your random issues?
*by T***B on January 6, 2022*

I am in love with this tool - let me tell you why. I am also a lover of lattes. I have developed a silly pet peeve related to the lids used for to-go cups. The venting hole is too small which causes two problems: one - it restricts the flow of coffee when sipping, and two - when you do sip it makes a grating air-suck noise that drives me crazy. I know these are silly things. To solve this problem I used to keep a pen in my handbag to use to expand the hole. Now that the coffee shops are upgrading to compostable lids (yay!) the material is a bit thicker so when I tried I either wasn't able to pierce the lid with the pens at all or I would try so hard that it would burst open the lid, the cup, or both. I tried several implements that were the shape and size of a pen but without an open sharp end so I could carry it in my handbag. It took nearly 5 years of hunting before I happened upon this retractable craft knife. It might be a silly little problem and a silly little tool but it still gives me great joy. It's good to pause to be grateful for the little things, right?
