I have the Havel, too. I like the fact that you can change blades if one gets dull. I also like the fact that it is flat. It can't roll off the surface. You can buy a non-rolling holder for Exacto Blades or at least you could. I have quite a few as I always was afraid the Exacto would roll off the table and get my foot. I don't wear shoes in the summer - I wear sandals.
