I love this utility knife! It is so handy, you just pick it up and sqeeze and you have a sharp blade that's ready to do your bidding! When you are done, you just put it down. The knife goes back into its sheath staying sharp and safe until the next time you need it! You can also push a little button and the blade will stay out. My only problem is finding it, because my son is always "borrowing" it!!
 Nice utility knife, but... February 23, 2007

This utility knife has a nice concept. I purchased several (4) for use in a commercial printing environment. Everyone liked the "screwdriver free" blade changing and storage. It feels wide and heavy, compared to most other utility knives. We found from extended use it does perform well. BUT.. do not drop this knife. Drops from a standard height table (3ft) will jam the mechanism and render it useless.

I was looking for a good utility knife after my plain stainless steel one was "breaking" - when pressing hard, the blad would get pushed back into the handle...making it quite useless for certain projects.
I was torn between this knife and the Stanley 10-799. Both looked to be good and had good reviews. I finally chose this one over the Stanley because the Stanley has a fixed blade - the blade doesn't retract and is always out - hard to store safely. After careful thought, I figured that was enough of a danger to eliminate the Stanley from the runnings. This one was cheaper as well, so that's an added bonus.
When I got this knife, I was surprised at how large it is. It's about 17cm long, 4.5cm tall, 2cm thick (6.5" x 2" x 0.9") - this is my estimation from measuring with a ruler, measuring the largest points. These dimensions are a bit different than what's listed on the Amazon product description. The knife feels good and sturdy, well made, and comfortable in my hand. It comes with 6 blades already in the Blade Storage Compartment. It is recommended that you only use Heavy Duty 0.024"/0.60mm thick replacement blades. It comes all ready to go, which is awesome...and it's even easy to get it out of packaging!
Basically, just pop it out of the packaging and squeeze the handle. The black squeeze lever is at the bottom of the handle - squeeze that in and 1 blade automatically pops out. You cannot adjust the amount that the blade comes out, it's either out or in. To retract the blade, you push the black button on the left side by your thumb. This button is a little hard for me to push with my right thumb alone, but it's easy enough...and a guy might not have any problems with that button. To remove a dull blade completely, just extend the blade, then push the Yellow button and the blade gets completely released.
It's also got a lifetime warranty on it. I'm really liking this utility knife. I tried it out and pressed really hard on the blade downwards, and the blade stayed in place, so it's definitely replacing my other utility knife for those cutting needs.
I would definitely recommend this item.

I am 100% pleased with this tool! Nice, solid feel, functions perfectly and easy to replace or reverse blades. Great gift. Amazon is usually a price leader, but this is available elsewhere for less, even considering sales tax. I won't say where, as I'm a loyal Amazoner, but stroll your local home center and you may get a surprise
