Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The brand is trustworthy, too. I'm glad this came with two, because i always seem to misplace the one i'm using. I like the price and how safe and handy these are.

This utility knife is still manufactured in the united states and is competitively priced with foreign made utility knives. Compared to those, the body of this knife is smoother, allowing you to apply maximum force on your cuts without hurting your ha... Read More

Cons

The blade falls out of the front of the knife, when properly installed. Once installed the blade would not retract or protract. This product comes with cardboard embedded in the slots, so that you cannot get cut by the blade.

Packaging/appearance

Before i would cut the packing tape and shove the box in the recycling bin as i could.

Competitiveness

None of them are compared to this simple design.

I did not find that installing the blade was any more difficult than it was with stanley utility knives that i bought 30+ years ago.

I've also used the stanley 10-499 and the sheffield 12115 (a lockback style utility knife).
