I've been rescribing panel lines for years now and my favorite tools are a razor saw and a photo etch saw. I only use a new xacto blade on sharp corners occasionally. Saws will follow the lines perfectly and not slip out of the groove like other tools I have used.

Andy, I bought mine at a Hobbytown. They were half off,so I thought I would give them a try. Now, I couldn't do without them! You should be able to get them online from their store.

I think Rick has the PE blades over at Scale Dreams. I don't re-scribe panel lines unless I've done some body work in the area.
