Hey there!
No harm in trying things out. Unfortunately, X-Acto knife blades are just too thin to work properly on Bass wood.
One of the charms of Whittling is that you can do it with pretty much any sort of pocket knife. If you've got one lying around that you're not using, then you can use it.
I've reccomended various knives in the past; if you've got access to Amazon, then I would urge you to browse their wares.
At the end of the day, what you're looking for is Good quality steel, a handle that looks comfortable, and a compact, safe design.
