Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Great tool. Great knife. Good razor knife. This thing is sharp.



Cons

Get the wallboard equivalent way better. Not adjustable not like the original 199. Poor casting quality.

    I was taught that with a fixed blade knife such as this youre less likely to cut yourself than if you have a retractable as you are more aware of the blade position
