+1 box cutter blades are the best. Cheap, replaceable -- and by nature of this, you don't mind if you abuse them....nor is it prohibitive having several sitting around.
waxen thistle
Seriously dulls them.
eager sapphire
Fascinating
waxen thistle
And there's nothing more dangerous than a dull knife.
in a pinch, you can use a diamond-coated sharpener steel to hone the blade for some extra life. I use this one for Xacto knives all the time: https://www.amazon.com/Kershaw-Ultra-Tek-Sharpening-Diamond-Coated-Lightweight/dp/B000WALUV6/
inner spade
@haughty quiver A Gemma might make a pretty nice analog "dead air" alarm.
eager sapphire
Thanks for the tip, @waxen thistle
Would prefer Xacto blades last a bit longer than they do
waxen thistle
When using a honing steel, don't go overboard. Do 2-3 passes on each side, and it'll bring back the edge. If you sit there for a minute, you'll just be wasting steel.
Angle also matters, you'll get a feel for what works best with experience.
eager sapphire
Yeah, that one takes practice to get it right
waxen thistle
Cardboard is excellent for prototyping -- not as hazardous as sintra (PVC)/other materials, doesn't -need- a laser cutter or special cutting tools, it's cheap + disposable....plus you're recycling by reusing!
