Review

#11 Blades Z series
X-Acto®
XZ611
100 blades

X-Acto's Z series seems to be a relatively new product (introduced within the past few years).
X-Acto
® claims these zirconium nitride coated blades are "our sharpest must durable blade ever". I have tried them but I could not notice any discernable difference compared with other X-Acto® # 11 blades. Perhaps since I discard blades after only a short bit of use, I am not really testing them. Anyone who has followed my blog or writings, know that I stress that the key to getting good scratch building results is a sharp blade - that means changed often - that means buying your blades by the 100 pack.

Be aware, these blades are made in China. So if you are looking for a 100-pack of #11 blades these will work - and they seemed to be easy to find on Amazon - another plus.
