LENOX GOLD Titanium Nitride Coated Utility Knife Blades (100 Pack)

I work in a warehouse and cut tons of cardboard and plastic of all shapes & sizes. I’ve always had a thing for quality tools, and these blades definitely fit that bill. Before I got these Lenox Golds, I was using cheap off brand ones from the hardware store. I would destroy them and have to switch blades out every day. They were sharper than these, because they had a secondary bevel on the edge, which made them sharper, but way more prone to excess damage.It says on the package they last 3X longer, and I’d have to agree. I can get about 2-3 days out of each side of the blade, whereas before I would use both sides in 1 day. They are plenty sharp, and tough as nails. The titanium coating on the edge definitely makes a difference. I paired it with my Ti-Rant Razor V3 by Exceed Designs, which is the all titanium box cutter (You can find right here on Amazon) and I now have a super lightweight box cutter with a pry bar on the end. Super useful tool, and the best blades I’ve found yet.Only downside is the dispenser, the blades are all coated in grease. Which makes them stick together & near impossible to dispense. I had to use a screwdriver to slide each blade out. Slightly annoying, but I only have to do it once a week thanks to these great blades.Pros: Very long lasting, titanium coating ACTUALLY makes a difference and aids in longevity. 4 notches that allows you to extend the blade out a little farther & get more blade length. No secondary bevel, keeps all the strength right where you need it, the edge. Very flexible, don’t need to worry about them snapping. Tips are stronger than most other blades I’ve used. They look great as well.Cons: They don’t come as sharp as others, but it’s a respectable trade off. What you lose in sharpness, you gain in durability & longevity.

Its not easy for me to give something like a utility blade 5 stars, I mean it's just a blade right? These fit as you would expect, come in a dispenser case that works better than most, and seem to have a light coat of something to help protect them from rusting prematurely. The seem to last longer that other blades we have used, but this had no real testing to back it up, it just seems that way to me. They are noticeably sharper I think than most other brands, and they stay sharp for a long time. If you are cutting asphalt roofing shingles you may be turned off by the price because they aren't the least expensive blade out there, but they are well worth the extra money especially if you aren't sharing them with other workers.

The blades are very high quality but getting blades out is a pain. It pulls apart easily to transfer to another container though. I modified mine for easy dispensing but that compromises safety

Cuts like butter. Bought them per a buddy's recommendation. I'll never buy anything else again!

These blades fit all my Gerber utility knives perfectly. Although I have to say they are not at thick as the original blade that came with my Gerber knives. I used a digital caliper and the thickness of these Lenox blades were 0.6 mm and the thickness of the original blades were 0.9 mm. Also the difference in thickness is obvious when looking and touching them. I almost thought I was holding two blades when holding the original Gerber blade. These are very sharp and am still using the original Lenox blade after 1 month. I don't use the blade everyday though. I don't have the original packaging so I can't say where these were made. There isn't any writing on the actual blade holder as to where these were made. Would I get these again and pay the over $20? No i wouldn't. I don't fell these are worth that amount. That being said I do like the 4 notches that these come with. The original Gerber blade only has two notches.

The dispenser needs to be improved- its very difficult to get a blade out.

Best blades that I have ever used.

I swear, these Lenox utility knife blades are like the superheroes of the tool world. I was skeptical at first, but after using them, I feel like I could conquer any cardboard box in record time. It's like they're whispering, 'Don't worry, I got this,' every time I make a cut. Plus, they arrived so fast, it's like they knew I needed a hero in my life. Lenox, you've turned my mundane tasks into a comedy show of effortless slicing and dicing. Cheers to the happiest purchase ever!
