SEE HOW TRICKY THEY ARE? read the comments:

    1) It is important to note that I get the blades that I can order from my suppliers, granted they are never X-acto brand but... MANY manufactures of no.11 blades don't fit in the holder. There is a small part of the blade that goes outside of the width of the "tang" of the blade (part that goes in the holder.) The opening on the knife is ONLY the width of the tang, so any bigger and you cant close it without forcing it, which damages it.

X-Acto came out with this knife so that they could sell you proprietary blades. The #11s that you buy $5 for 100 don't fit in the damn things. They never do.
