> 3 dayThe only thing I would change is maybe replace the plastic handle with something more sturdy. But I see no reason for it to break on me.

> 3 dayIncredibly sharp. One of my most used tools in my clinician pouch. Super sharp, comfortable handle without over the top designs. Most other 9mm snap tip box blades I have used are cheap plastic $1 store grab bag items. Its taken a while to find one that is very high quality. Only two drawbacks... 1) The high carbon blade is very sharp, but rusts very easily. After casting in the clinic, I will cut the fiberglass with this with ease, but the blade will start to form a layer of rust on the edge a few hours later, just from the moisture in the cast. 2) If you arent careful, the blade perforations will snap easier than expected, shortening the lifetime of the blade.

> 3 dayThe handle is very good with a lot of grip, it doesnt slip in your hands. Good balance and feel. The auto lock blade is very secure and will not slip.

> 3 dayStarted using Olfa products after my son received one in his architecture kit in college. Absolutely the best on the market. They make a variety of cutters (I own four) and Ive never found their equal. I threw the other brands away once I found Olfa. Precision and quality make this cutter top-notch! Highly recommend!

04-06-2025Perfect utility knife. I am using it to refoam some old speakers and it is working well. I previously had a cheaper version of this knife and it fell apart. Worth spending a few more bucks for this one.

> 3 dayKnives of this type are made in several designs by several companies. Ive had many in the last 30 years. This is the first one that has a simple, effective design and is well made. I anticipate a long life for this simple, handy tool.

> 3 dayThis is my favorite all around utility knife for office, craft and light fab work. The locking retraction works consistently well. Blades are insanely sharp of course. The clip is actually useful for shirt pocket or container storage. One of my top-5 small tools.
