Searched Amazon and internet.** A: Thank you for your question. The handle series is called a #1 however the blades that used are a #11. You can locate these exact replacement blades under ASIN #B007VERA1K (5pk) or #B005JDF28S (100pk). **Q: Will the tip break if used for lifting a push-on back of a wristwatch to replace watch battery?Thank you** A: The tip will definitely break if you try to pry the back off of a watch. **Q: what is zirconium nitride coating does it decompose plastic? (such as gunpla model kits)** A: Zirconium nitride is an inert ceramic material. Its job is to make the cutting edge harder than the metal underneath would be alone, which will help keep the blade sharp for longer. The same coating is pretty common on things like drill bits. Your model parts should be safe! **Q: does zirconium nitride coating do harm or decompose plastics? i was going to used this to cut nub marks for plastic model kits?** A: We use these for lots of plastic mold work at our shop and have never had a problem with any of our plastic molds. ## Frequently Bought Together - X-Acto Precision Utility Knife Metal Silver 9.0 inches Aluminum Handle Z-Series #1 Includes Safety Cap - anezus Self Healing Sewing Mat, 12inch x 18inch Rotary Cutting Mat Double Sided 5-Ply Craft Cutting Board for Sewing Crafts Hobby Fabric Precision Scrapbooking Project - X-Acto® Knife Blades, No. 11 Blade With Safety Dispenser, Pack Of 15 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/256826760-precision-utility-knife-metal-silver-9-0-inches-aluminum-handle](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/256826760-precision-utility-knife-metal-silver-9-0-inches-aluminum-handle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
