It's a bit easier to control than the longer blade of an Exacto knife and readily available on-line for under $10 for the knife with a few blades and a 25-pack of extra blades at olfaproducts.com. I don't know how it compares with a scalpel, but the tip is very fine. I save the blades for cutting other stuff with when they are no longer sharp enough for cutting bobbin threads. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
