My contribution time: A while back I picked up a packet of the XActo Z-Series blades, only because I was running low on blades at that point and Walmart was totally out of the blades for my size of knife (#11 for the A handle). This morning (predawn - darn insomnia) decided it was time to change out the blade with which I was working. (See? No dangling participle!) Coated with zirconium nitride, they look as if they are gold-plated on the cutting edge - so it's easy to distinguish them from a standard blade.
The Z series packet was the first thing in reach - and it cut through the cardstock like a knife through hot butter! Wow. I also lightly jabbed the end of a finger and actually drew a drop of blood. So a big caveat here, guys and gals: these things are SHARP! Do be careful.
I have no idea yet how long these will stay sharp. Perhaps someone else who has used these might be able to chime in on that point.
I will definitely continue using an older blade in another handle for scoring as I really have no trust in myself not cutting all the way through the paper with these puppies!
~I knew I should have taken that left turn at Albequerque... but I know where my towel is!
Thanks for the info. Have you tried it with foamcore? For some reason, I like using my xacto knives when cutting foamcore versus using a utility knife. It beats the heck out of the blade, though.
