X-ACTO

The name X-ACTO is only the name of the company that produces several utility products.  So the object i refuse to be without is a utility knife, but not just any ordinary knife.  It is the the size of a pencil or pen, both in the length of it and the diameter of the knife. It is made of a metallic material that gives it a cold, fresh feeling every time i hold the knife in my hand. The handle part of the knife has two sections on the metal that has been etched to create a grip, but also to give a texture that contrasts from the smoothness of the rest of the knife. The blade for this knife is as small and delicate as the precise cuts that it can create on material. The top part of the blade is 1/8th of an inch wide and it goes into a sharp point creating a triangular shape. The bottom part of the blade is a rectangular shape would an oval hole in the middle which helps lock the blade in place when in the handle. Which such a delicate blade, it can become dull very fast especially when used to cut wood, wire, cardboard, or other material.  The tips of the blade can also break off, and if you keep using it will not create straight cuts. Because of this you always need to be prepared with extra blades. The top part of the handle of the knife is both a grip and can be twisted to release the blade and install a new one. The knife comes with a very simplistic cover made of plastic that is put over the blade to protect the person when not in use.
