A matt knife is sturdier than an Xacto knife, and works better. But it
has to be SHARP. Very sharp. Be prepared to change blades frequently, or
you get the jagged edges that never go away. Use a metal straightedge
(you can get them quite long) and a flat surface padded with a cut-able
substance (scrap foam core works). Take 2 or 3 cuts to go through - this
works better than using force to do it in one cut.  It's a zen thing -
breathe into it.

 

Good luck! And sharp blades.
