I keep a few x-acto blades in my tin. I had visions of using thread to tie one to a stick if necessary. While I was in the hardware store today, I may have found a better idea. I picked up some 4 inch long X 1/16 inch thick electrical cable ties. A couple of them would fit in a tin without too much fuss. A bag of 30 cost me $1.13. <br><br>It might work to split a small stick and put the blade in the split. Then use a cable tie to secure it. Its the arrowhead method with modern materials. I havent tested this idea yet.
