Someone told me at our flying field yesterday that they had heard via the Toledo show that X-acto is going out of business.
Certainly hoping is just untrue gossip.
Can any one confirm?

Even if this is true there's many Chinese rip offs out there that will still do the job.

Somehow I can't imagine Xacto going out of business... Their owner is kinda sticky about companies they own. Xacto is a cut above.

Well, until I hear of the “X-Act” news myself, I’ll treat it as humor or rumor.

As of October X-Acto is still alive and well  http://www.xacto.com/


Suggest we edit the thread title before rumors get started......

In case no one can read upside down...That's Elmer's who owns Xacto.
