> 3 dayI bought a couple of these and they just arrived. They are by far the best quality utility knives I have come across. In the past Ive had cheap little plastic ones, but these, for a little extra money, are far superior in quality. The grip is nice and the action of moving the blade is very precise. The blade moves nicely and locks firmly in place and then retracts just as smoothly. Its a tiny little thing that gets used only on occasion (mostly to open boxes from Amazon), but its so rare to be pleasantly surprised by the quality of an inexpensive product that I just had to give it a review. 5 stars all the way. A little more expensive than the cheapies, but in this case you get more than what you pay for. Im ordering more to give to friends - who think Im nuts to be excited about a $6 utility knife.

> 3 dayOver all very nice knife. The so-called end cap blade snapping tool does not break the blade along the scored line. As a testament to how useless it is, the Olfa website recommends using pliers to break off blade segments! Quoting from the Olfa website: the safest and most technically correct way to snap a blade is to either use a pair of pliers or a blade disposal system! Since they apparently advise against using their own blade snapping feature, I deducted 1 star for useless feature.

> 3 dayItem works well, purchased for installing PPF on car (like a hot knife through butter). Highly recommend considered NT red dot but this looked more comfortable and could be used for many different things

> 3 dayReally good box cutters. These are not designed for really heavy duty use, but for simple use, its great. So much so that my insanely picky boyfriend wants one.
