Offered here is a beautiful vintage X-ACTO knife, hand engraved by The Tool Engraver (known on Instagram as @thetoolengraver).
A staple on drafting tables, workbenches, and hobby desks for generations, the X-ACTO knife is known for its precision, control, and versatility. This example carries that same trusted performance, now elevated through traditional hand engraving.
The scroll design was created entirely from scratch and executed by hand using a Steve Lindsay hand graver. The hexagonal handle is engraved on three faces, with every line individually cut—no laser work, no machine replication—ensuring authentic craftsmanship with depth and permanence.
The engraving has been carefully darkened to complement the lightly polished metal frame, enhancing contrast while preserving the tool’s clean, purposeful character.
Included is the original box, two pen knives, and an assortment of vintage blades—making this a well-rounded and ready-to-use set.
This is more than a precision knife—it is a functional heirloom. Equally suited for detailed work or display in a curated collection, it blends proven utility with timeless artistry.
Shipping is included.
Thank you for your consideration.
