OLFA9mm Slide Lock Utility Knife (A-1) - Multi-Purpose Retractable Precision Knife w/ Snap-Off Blade, Replacement Blades: Any OLFA 9mm Blade

I tried this as a pocket knife replacement, at work there's copious amounts of tape and cardboard and cling wrap to cut, and outside work packages mostly, the odd string, paper and such, mail and the like; I've always had a pocket knife but grew tired of cleaning tape residue, and sharpening blades that I could never get razor sharp, and even when I got close they would dull and chip if dropped. With a slight mod to the clip (sanding down the inner nub, for easier sliding into the pocket), I can now do all the pocket knife tasks aside from stabbing one in self defense, yet slashing is still available, without having to constantly maintain and worry about dmaging or losing my knife. Not only are these so cheap you can buy 10 for the price of a decent knife, you can also easily snap off each blade that is dull, or chipped or covered in residue, providing a new sharp edge. I also own the ss version but like another review stated I enjoy this one better, feels better in the hand and also doesn't have any sharp metal edges that would scrape my hand when entring into my pocket. The construction on these are sound, nothing feels cheap or readily breakable, for the price of a pen you can have a cutting implement that will surpass your expectations.

I bought the bigger version as well .. nothing but quality here .. they are not cheap , but it's the best one i've ever used. Fully metal lined to support the blade, ratchet mechanism works flawlessly and unlike cheaper version , the blade stays exactly in the setting you desired , you can apply pressure and the blade stays firmly in place and cuts like butter. you get what you pay for, and it's worth every penny!

It gets the job done day in day out. It's comfortable enough for a single material blade holder, and I love that the blade locks so it doesn't pull out while dragging on material. I'll get a few more of these!

I've switched to only using OLFA brand knives for hobby work. Adjusting the blade length is never a problem like I have experienced with other brands.

A good tool to have in your battery if you're into crafts.

This is the best feeling blade I've ever held and used. It works great. I'd buy again.

I Love it! I do vehicle wraps for living and I like this knife a lot better than the all steel one. This one is a little bit thicker. Does not slide out from my pouch as easy and easier to spot it on the floor because of the color ( unless if you have yellow floor). Unlike the other olfa knife this one has a plastic pocket clip/blade snapper. I like it a lot better and it does not get lost as easy as the metal one that just slides out. Only cons: Eventually the clip will break.I have used this knife a LOT! It held up for 50 blades and around 400 snaps ( i usually snap off 2 blade segment at a time)Pros:you will not lose the clip as easythicker - feels better in the hand (yeah, i know)no auto load mechanism to breakCHEAP! a lot cheaper than the stainless steel one.

Great little knife for opening packages. Built better than a lot of the cheaper ones here.
