Default Does this type of xacto exist?

I am looking for a dual blade type of exacto. When I say dual blades I mean on one end and they are fixed to a certain distance between them. I have been searching forever and wondering if any one has information to aid in finding this. Thanks guys.

I dont know, but it sounds dangerous. I could see myself stabbing my hand with the other end.

Agreed, I doubt they make anything like that.

place 2 blades in the end, put a bit of cardboard in between them to get the gap desired.

I used a Dremel to slightly widen the gap in an old xacto knife to accomplish this. Works perfect for getting exact width, tiny pinstripes every time.

Good luck, its near impossible to keep 2 blades in contact with a surface, turning corners and over the molded shape of a shell.

Flat surface straight no probs
