X-Acto knife
Model-maker's cutting tool
An X-Acto knife is a precision cutting tool with a thin, sharp blade mounted in a pen-like handle.
Used for detailed work in crafts, model-making, and graphic design, it allows controlled cuts that scissors or utility knives can't achieve: She trimmed the mat board with an X-Acto knife.
The name is a trademark but commonly used generically.
