OLFA 9mm Precision Utility Knife (XA-1) - Multi-Purpose Retractable Precision Knife w/ Fiberglass Reinforced Handle & Snap-Off Blade

I really like this tool. I like the feel the look and the performance. I bought 3 total. I work a sign shop and constantly using blades so I can tell you these blades are a great buy

These are great little knives. They are well balanced and wicked sharp. However, they keep disappearing. I suspect someone else in the family likes them too.

It is incredibly sharp, comfortable, and works great. I have never had a knife this sharp...it is kind of freaky because of its size. I was able to cut the lid of a five gallon bucket in half without sawing back and forth; it just slid right down like butter. Because of the thinness and sharpness it is very precise. I use it routinely to make lateral incisions in PVC flextube. If there was any jagging, it would ruin the tube, but I can always count on this knife for big difficult tasks as well as small precise ones. The auto locking mechanism works well and the blade stays sharp for a long time. Replacement blades arent too expensive.

Ive purchased this tool for the office as well as home. I absolutely love how lightweight and efficient it is as a box cutter. The blade snapper at the bottom of the handle is handy when I need to snip off one of the blades (which isnt often!). I use this every single day. Blades are sharp and last a long time. Also, who can beat the forever guarantee handle on a $6 spend? Highly recommend this must-have product!

This knife is much higher quality than similar snap off blades from the local hardware.

I love these knives. They are comfortable to hold & they are non-slip. They will fit in your pocket easily (no pocket clip). The blade is extremely easy to extend and retract. The blade can be retracted completely into the handle for safe handling. The blades are fairly easy to replace (no screwdriver needed). When the tip becomes dull, you can simply snap the tip off (be careful of flying metal). The refill blades are fairly inexpensive. BTW: the black blades are MUCH better than the silver blades. Ive used both. The black blades are extremely sharp and strong.

The designers seem to have incorporated many lessons from real world users. There is an intuitive aspect to all of its features. When I pick it up, it feels custom made for my hand. The anti-slip covering does what it is supposed to do. In addition, the functions of re-tipping and replacing the blade are very uncomplicated and safe.

The blade chips pretty easily.

I probably have a dozen of these. Well made and comfortable to use.

best in its class
