Pros & Cons
Pros
These knives feel substantial in your hand, they feel very balanced and smooth to open and close even under the harshest of conditions. I usually stock up at christmas time when they are on sale at home depot. I am ok with this as the knife works prop... Read More
The knife itself has the number 10-079 molded into it, which appears to be the number to look for if you want a grey (non-painted) knife. The high-visibility green finish makes it easy to find on a crowded work bench. The bright color is a plus since ... Read More
Retired machinist who worked at stanley's world headquarters for many years. Solid, dependable and american made. Good durable all metal utility knife.
Cons
Arrives without a blade pre-installed and a screwdriver is required to access the blades that are hidden within the tool itself. Installation instructions are insufficient and i found it both puzzling and frustrating to determine how the clunky parts ... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Three blades are included with the knife.
They've been put thru a lot and still look good with the green, and everyone on the job site knows which knives are ours.
Most new retractable blade knives, particularly with with the easy change feature, become easy jam knives sticking open becoming dangerous.
This review is for: stanley regular duty utility retractable knife number 10-179 (according to the hang card that came with the knife).
Shipping
The shipping rate i got wa high so i ordered a bunch of them.
Competitiveness
One of the best basic utility knifes on the market.
Tried ordering some cheaper ones and had to return them because they just did not work as well as the stanley brand.
Good knife for home tool kit but probably not for regular heavy-duty use.

This is a very basic no frills utility knife

The green color was a factor in my decision to buy however it’s probably not worth paying a premium for just for a green handle as it would not take a lot of skill to spray paint a stock gray 10079 whatever color you like
