What Other Knives Do People Use?

[pat h]

The head knife discussion was interesting. Given the cost however, that's not something I'll be getting soon.

Right now, I'm using an X-acto knife for cutting paper and carboard patterns.

For cutting leather, I'm using a standard razor knife (box cutter).

I notice that I rarely get through on one pass with the razor knife. The blade is new, so I'm sure my technique is lacking.

For those not using a head knife, what are you using and do you have any tips on cutting more accurately and effectively?

Thanks.

i used to use a hooked blade for roofing in a utility knife that worked pretty good
