Customer Review: Very Good - Very Durable - Very Nice Looking
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very good utility knife. I have been using for about a month now - every work day. We have been working outdoors (Carpentry-Framing) its been very cold and wet. Have been using for cutting a lot of exterior sheetrock, sharpening pencils and cutting TyvekŪ. it hasn't showed any signs of rust, wear or stress.
Design advantages:
Its very strong.
Nice looking.
less than half the size of all my old Stanley knives.
Tool-less blade replacement.
easy to handle... at least for my small hands.
Disadvantages:
Doesn't hold spare blades... But does come with a small separate box for replacemnet blades.
Opening and Closing knife requires both hands.
All in all best utility knife I have owned for the last 7 years that I have been framing houses.
Customer Review: Great knife,but hard to open with one hand.
Summary: 3 Stars
Just as the title suggests.I do like the fact that they supply a good amount of replacement blades.The lock is incredibly strong.Ijust wish it would be easier to open,it is a cut risk.Customer Review: Nice when it's free
Summary: 2 Stars
This is an OK utility knife, but if you are looking for a quality tool, buy the original, the SuperKnife. The only reason I got this knife was because it was a freebie, and that's about the right price for this knife.
As far as reviewing the functionality, the action is very stiff when trying to open the knife and requires the use of both hands. When I try to flip it open with the thumscrew, I frequently open the blade change mechanism. And on that note, blade changes aren't that easy to perform, either.
If you can get this knife $5 or less, then it might be worth it; otherwise, go for the SuperKnife.
Customer Review: Strong, but weak refill method
Summary: 4 Stars
Strongly built, easy to use and fold. Weakness in the refill method, the folding latch does not always latch.Customer Review: Excellent utility knife
Summary: 5 Stars
This utility knife is excellent. The blades are super sharp, and it feels very sturdy.
