  I’m sure most all of us cut with and X-Acto #11 blade. Once the sharp point wears down (or breaks off), has anyone found a way to regrind the point and sharpness of the original? I’ve tried sharpening, grinding etc but the blade quality just isn’t good. I hate it because it’s such a waste to discard the entire blade (and that chunk of metal–nonrecyclable resources people).
