That method is using a very sharp Xacto-type knife to make the X cut. I
plan on doing about 10 a day over the next few weeks.


Don't skimp on the blades. You can get 100 #11 blades from Amazon for
about $10. I get Techni-Edge and they are as good as the X-Acto blades
for a buck apiece in those 5 blade blister packs.



Thanks for the tip.. Right now using this Stanley model because we have
a handful of them that were donated to the class by Stanley. It does
appear that this exact model may be discontinued as we could not find it
at any local retailer. Blades yes, handles no, but we should not need
any handles for awhile. There is a very similar metal version.
