Review: Great value and great box - This is a fantastic little set for the price! The two metal tools are well-made and have a good weight in the hand. X-ACTO is practically a household name, and they make quality blades and tools. However, the large "C" handle has a very cheap feeling red plastic handle. I was a little disappointed when I picked it up. However, it's not like this is a hammer that will be put to a lot of physical abuse. Even though it feels a bit shoddy, it seems to put together well. It should hold up, and the lightness can of course be a benefit. The wide variety of blades are great. I didn't realize it before ordering, but rather than being held into the plastic molded part of the case by friction they're held by a magnetic strip! This is a good thing, because the plastic into which they're set is pretty flimsy. It's a step above what you'd get in a tray of cookies, but it's by no means robust. In fact, as I'm writing this review I opened the box to give it another look. The magnetic strip had fallen out of the plastic carrier (bringing the blades with it). It'll take a couple of dabs of glue to set it back in there. So no big deal, but it's just an unfortunate bit of shoddiness. I gladly would have spent a couple of bucks more for better plastic inserts. The case itself is marvelous on an item at this price point. It's very lightweight, but sturdy. The metal latch has a satisfying closing action, and it's perfectly set where it will open and close effortlessly, but there's no play at all in the lid when it's secured. I saw another review that stated their box was MDF with a vaneer. Mine is plywood and has finger jointed corners on both the base and lid. While the pictures on here show the box to be a caramel (?) color with perhaps a finish on it, my box is a very light birch and is unfinished. The pictures also show a brass-colored latchset, whereas mine looks like nickel. I don't mind the discrepancies because I prefer the appearance of the one I received. But your mileage may vary of course. Overall this is a 5-star item. It's a great value, despite my gripe with the cheap plastics. I've seen X-ACTO "A" handle knives sans extra blades being sold in stores for a third the cost of this kit. You can't beat 3 handles, 13 blades, and a sweet box for just over sixteen bucks (at this time).
Review: Still the same great set I remember as a kid! - I remember wanting this kit as a kid, but for whatever reasons I've never picked one up until now; since I'm finally revisiting some hobbies I haven't had time, space, or money for previously. I was pleased to see the same quality I've always expected from X-Acto is still in place! I was surprised to see all the varying reviews, supported by pictures of some really terrible quality stuff. I suppose it's the same across desertcart, you really have to pay attention to who the item is coming from. If anything, the quality of this set surpasses how they were made back when. If memory serves me, the handles were heavier and not so highly polished in older sets; I like these! Addressing some of the quality issues others seem to have encountered; the unit I bought was listed as from X-Acto, shipped and sold by desertcart. 1. The handles and locking collars are all metal, except for the red bakelite/plastic handle of the large knife. 2. It's true that the molded plastic insert in the box does hold the handles quite firmly in place, so they may require using a tool of some sort to pry out. I find this a good feature. 3. In the unit I received, there IS a magnetic strip in the blade storage portion to hold the blades in place. The only problem I had with the set at all is the magnetic strip was not securely glued to the plastic insert, so the blades and the magnetic strip would all fall out of the plastic insert. I used some isopropyl alcohol to clean off what appeared to be oil from the plastic insert and from the back of the magnetic strip, then applied a strip of double-backed sticky tape to re-affix the magnetic strip; all is well after a month or so, I can turn the box upside down while open, and nothing falls out. 4. The wooden box is just as nice as ever, smoothly finished and the clasp closes firmly. 5. The blades were all of good quality, with X-Acto and the blade number etched into each one. Unfortunately, the etched label on most of the blades is on the wrong side of the blade; so the label can't be seen when the blade is in it's individual spot of the top storage section. It's a minor quibble, but something X-Acto could improve. More importantly, as another reviewer mentioned; the handles will only fit in the plastic insert if the original blades are on the handle. So you'll have to swap blades out to put the handles away if you use anything but the original blade. Remolding the plastic insert to accept the handles with every blade the handle takes would work. Just pay attention to who the set is coming from and you should be pleased with it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent set!
*by M***H on October 31, 2013*

This is truly an excellent set and a great value but several of the blades are not marked at all. Also, the back of the package (not the box, but the package the whole thing comes in) is just a tiny bit misleading. Let me see if I can explain this. On the back, there is an illustration explaining what each blade and handle does. As you can see in the product photo, there is a blade attached to each handle. On the back, it tells you what blades those are on each handle (which are #1, #2 and #5 blades). To the right of that, there is a list of the additional blades in the top portion of the product photo. There it lists the #2 blade again, but not #1 nor #5. At first glance, this makes you think that there are two #2 blades to be found, but instead there are two #11 blades, which it doesn't mention at all. That's a minor thing, but for newbs may be slightly confusing. One thing I wish it had, was a "map" insert of what each blade is. You know, kind of like what a box of Valentine's Day chocolates has, that describes what each chocolate is. If the blade and knife holders had been white, it would have been easy to simply write it somewhere, but it's black. Only paint can be used on black. I ended up writing the blade number on the wood on the inside of the box, along the edge, just below each blade and to the left of the knives. I used a fine point Sharpie. The box is fantastic! It's wood and quite durable looking. It has a closure that is way tight. It took me a few tries to get it to close fully. That bad boy is NOT going to open accidentally... EVER. lol! All in all I'm very pleased with it and expect them to last for many years.
