## Questions & Answers

**Q: can the area with the photo of the xacto be removed to hold a replacment blade refill case? it looks like the correct size.**
A: If you are referring to the upper right area, it's a pouch that, when opened, has a booklet about the blades and handles. It should hold the refill case, though I not have one to test with.

**Q: What's your vote on the better case?  The zippered case or the wooden case?**
A: I just received the new X-Acto kit, and the zippered case is great.  Everything snaps in and stays put, you can drop it, throw it in a backpack or whatever, without a worry.  I prefer it over the wooden case kit I had when I was a kid, so I can only assume that it's better than the faux-wood/plastic wood case option that is also available today.  I recommend the zippered case.

**Q: How well does the case hold the blades?**
A: This case works very well. I had one of the original wooden cases many years ago and found it to be much less useful than this portable case. The holders and blades are quite secure.

**Q: Is this set difficult for left-handed people to use?**
A: The knives and blades in this set are universal, so they will be no more difficult to use for left-handed people as opposed to right-handed people.
