Xacto Knife

[KingBubbaTruck]

So, Here's a Non-Pen

It's a crappy picture, cause I had a 10 hour power outage today and didn't feel like setting up my photo booth. I'm probably going to disassemble it and redo the finish, but the key points I'm happy about are:

1: the cap fits!
2: the double cross, is actually, the
best one I've done to date, except
that its a little small, and tight
and the contrast isn't high enough.

Thanks for any comments!

Nice work.

No kit. Well, I guess the Knife is the kit. The knife is basically just a plastic tube with a couple of aluminum metal things.

Just replace the plactic tube with a wooden one []

These are pretty easy to make, I've done a few myself. What I've settled on is the use of an eight mil tube, actually two of them. I started out by turning them with only wood but the end needs to be turned so small that it always ends up cracking from the pressure of tightening up the blade. Thats why I ended up using the eight mil tubes. You also could get away with only using a small section of the eight mil tube on the blade end and then drill the through hole just large enough for the rod that runs from one end to the other..
