Nautical Research Guild

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
Is there a better #11 blade handle

Phil,
I agree with Jay and wq3296. The older X-Acto handles are heavier and hold any X-Acto blade fast. Look for them at yard sales.
I have found that a better handle for scalpel blades is the Veritas Carvers Knife from Lee Valley (happy customer only).
David B has pointed out that both X-Acto and scalpel blades have a place in the tool box.
