As others have said, for knives you really do get what you pay for.
That said, as a starter whittling knife I got this one, and have found it to be pretty great as an all-around knife - from roughing all the way to small details in tight spaces. Comes with a good edge, solid edge retention with regular stropping, comfortable handle. There's no play between blade and handle, but I wouldn't be surprised if some developed over time.

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.
