I've never used a hobby knife because I so can not make a good vertical cut.
My favored cutters are some medical scalpels which have a very fine cutting edge, around 2 dregrees, I think. The problem is to get these old scalpels today because such with changing blades now also are used in medicine.

From time to time I find such old scalpels at flea markets, but they are in many cases not worth the money. The steel is too soft and I can not use to cut wood. Really, a difficult problem for my modeling jobs in future.
A good and usable solution could be these razor blade holders.
