In the past I've struggled making the cuts accurately when I've wanted to do some colrosing, whether carefully holding my carving knife by the blade or with some type of craft knife.
I was in my local Clas Ohlson yesterday and spotted something described as a precision knife which looked like it could be just the thing I've been looking for - all for the princely sum of £2.49 which included 10 spare blades.
The picture and description on their website isn't particularly helpful

so hopefully these additional ones will be
The tool is the same size as a regular pen but has a solid feel to it because of the metal lower section. The 3mm blade is extended and retracted by the buttons near the top. They're also recessed so you shouldn't be able to extend the blade accidentally. It's a little fiddly to change the blade due to it's small size.
In use it's very controllable and accurate. The only downside is that the cuts are quite fine because of the small thin blade.
Has anyone found anything else suitable?
