why do hold the blade in your hand? ive tried that a little just to experiment and found that i lost alot of precision that i had with a regular exacto. with the 360 exacto i have even gotten greater precision with my lines and cuts. just seems to me if your actually cutting yourself while trying to cut the vinyl, thats not really worth it. no amount of your own blood makes the design any cooler.

Mazza. I am in Hillsboro. about 22 mins from Hornings Hideout. The disc I am dyeing now isnt the Ganja one. that is still in the drawing phase. This one is a glow disc with Vic Rattlehead on it, looking great.

I get more precision when i hold just a blade in my hand. I have tried exacto's and pen knifes. doesnt have the right feel in my hand.

Have you thought about wearing a glove on the parts of your hand not holding the blade? Say, modifying a latex impregnated jersey glove as those are fairly cut resistant. Also with a sharper blade you are less likely to cut yourself (but probably already knew that).

I take back what I said. You're not Paul Bunyan with an axe, you're a damn caveman! Ever thought of just using a chisel like those Maori tattoo artists?

The Paul Bunyan position is available only to those who have mastered the art of using utensils.

I can see a few benefits to your method, though- when the blade gets dull you can just snap off the end and viola, a new blade. I can also believe the extra precision argument, but once you got used to a pen-type razor I'm sure you'd find no difference in the degree of detail achieved.

I did my first 6 or so with a razor blade, but I wrapped the end I held in a paper towel.

I've done a lot of precision modeling (played Warhammer 40k) and I have to say the I have never handheld a blade and my models came out just fine. Using an X-acto type knife is (to me) just like using a pen or pencil, something a lot of us do daily and have been doing since we were very young. But, to each his own.

Man, there's been a bunch of nice dyes being posted, I feel like I'm slacking a bit. I've been preoccupied with motorcycle maintenance, perhaps a bike-themed dye is in order.

Trozzle, (!!!) you should give the pen xacto another shot. Give me 5 dyes of your time, force yourself to use it and cut out some sweet stuff. I bet you'll come around. Just make sure you pick up this shape:


Actually, I'll ship you a couple to sweeten the deal...
What do you say?

Why do you like this shaped blade more than the regular triangle pointed one?

aaaand the blades could be accompanied by one of my few frisbees that don't have tattoos yet...


edit: The #11 blade, that long right triangle shape, tends to bend when I go around curves. The blade would try to go off in its own direction to compensate for the twisting which made for bent lines, and I like to get smooth, curvy cuts. The 16 holds its shape during the cut, so I can twist the pen and cut a smooth curve without any unnecessary angles in the middle.

That's one thing I tried to develop after seeing a plotter blade in action, the twisting of the pen in my fingers, similar to the cigarette rolling motion. A plotter blade pivots freely and smoothly while cutting, unlike a pen in hand. So, while cutting a curve, I try to mimic the plotter blade by twisting the pen as I drag it. Ideally the blade is always parallel to the cut. Even curves as small as 1/8" can be done without kinks if you spin the knife around fast enough.

Not with the 11 blades, though. They don't respect my authority and go off in their own directions so I said "good riddance."
