this may be late, but I found the "American Line" handle far better than the X-acto handle. That is a company name. You tighten the blade holder from the bottom, it has a hex nut shape at the bottom so it will not roll off and stab you in the leg. It also is rubber coated, and I work my handles hard and the rubber has not come off on me. Blades stay secure, and easy to remove when dull.
I have been using all different brands for over 50 years. This is my new go to Handle.
Is there a better #11 blade handle
