Is there a more generic term for an exacto? I think exacto is a brand? It is not a common term in Europe as far as I know. I guess it is sort of a scalpel like hobby-knife?

Exacto blade
Is there a more generic term for an exacto? I think exacto is a brand? It is not a common term in Europe as far as I know. I guess it is sort of a scalpel like hobby-knife?
