Use an X-Acto. Once you get the feel for it you will have all the control in the world.

I like a solid metal handle so I can slide my hand back and forth and twist the knife while staying on the surface. With a gripy one you can't do that. And anyway, the grip is useless because your supposed to hold the knife like a pinstripe brush. Not like a pen like you are writing.

I use a grippy xacto when i do murals. I think it is based on preference more than anything else. As far as teh swivel knife, i used it for a while, but found my xacto worked better for me. The swivel is great for making curves for flames and such, but again, it's all user preference.
