Folks, I know this will sound a little crazy, but I'm trying to cut a  
piece of material with a utility knife and it just doesn't seem to be  
doing the job. Now this is a new blade, but let me explain what I'm  
cutting and how I'm cutting it and maybe the how and what are the  
problem.

I purchased a sheet of material I believe it's formica, the same stuff  
most counter tops are made from. I need to cut this to fit the end of  
the counter top I am using as a desk. The guy at the store said a  
utility knife should do the trick. I've made a few passes and then  
tried digging in to cut through, but seems the knife first of all  
wants to skid around on the surface and just scratch the material. I  
then tried a really sharp pair of scissors which did help, but weren't  
really sharp enough. Now I realize I could get my Dremmel or even  
possibly my jig saw out, but I really was looking for a manual non- 
powered tool for such a simple task. So, the question is, do they make  
scissors that could be used for cutting material like this or is a  
utility knife my best option?

tnx
