> 3 dayI break a LOT of boxes down for our recycling effort. Previously I used an OLFA utility knife and was happy with the results--until I ordered the OLFA Rubber Grip Utility Knife. The leverage you can generate using this ergonomic rubber grip allows you to cut through large and tough cardboard boxes (think banana box) like a hot knife through butter. It of course helps that the blade is razor sharp, but the ease of use is really due to your ability to grip this knife in a way that automatically puts more power into the somewhat smaller cutting surface. No more repeating the cut to make sure that you get through the cardboard, no more bending of the blade as you try to make a straight cut. And its also useful on plastic, rope, rubber and a host of other items. GREAT TOOL!!!!!

> 3 dayThe 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.

> 3 dayKnife is very thin and lightweight, which is what I wanted. As for sharpness: when I was testing it, I accidentally made a huge gash in my table.

> 3 dayGreat product, well made and uses standard blades. Box cutters like these seemed to have disappeared from the big home improvement stores.

> 3 dayThese 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.

> 3 dayI have had many utility knives with break away blades. This is the best one I have so far. It has a heft, no doube because of the metal body, that makes it feel solid and feel good. I used it a few times and so far so good.
