In woodworking, a chisel, drill bit, scraper, and knife all work best when sharp, but they are honed differently for different applications. The scalpel-like edge of an Xacto knife would be nearly useless on a chisel or plane, but a properly-sharpened plane can slice off tissue-thin ribbons of wood you can read through.
I was thinking that a plane iron blade, with adequate engagement, might be a good match for the Blackbird.
