>>131163 lose the tips too often My friend had the same problem, until I taught him to cut the paper, not the cutting mat. He was pressing way too hard, so the blade went through the paper, and halfway into the rubber of the cutting mat. Then when he turned the blade to cut the corner, the tip of his #11 blades would always break off. Well duh... It happens to him "less often" now, still happens sometimes, because it's just such a pointy tip. But it's not like the blade breaks in half, maybe the first quarter of a millimeter breaks of, leaving you with a new pointy (and sharp again lol) edge. But it's the same as with all things: use what's readily available to you. If you can't get X-acto knives, use something else, breakaway blades or box cutters are just as fine.
