18mm Heavy-Duty Utility Knife (L-2) - Multi-Purpose Custom Cutting Depth Precision Knife w/Rubber Inset for Increased Precision & Snap-Off Blade, Replacement Blades: Any OLFA 18mm Blade

I have nothing but good things to say about this knife because of its quality and because it really is much better than the one I had before. I really like the ratchet wheel for securing the blade at the length you want it. It doesn't have the usual click steps like many snap knives do but I am okay with that because it allows me to set the length wherever I want it. Once tightened down with the ratchet screw the blade is very secure and will not pull forward when cutting like the other cheepo one I have. The knife feels comfortable in my and hand and I feel safe using it for what what it was designed for. I am sure this will not be the last OLFA product I buy from now on.

Great quality, very solid. I can tell it's made in Japan. Heavy plastic and rubberized handle. Very solid. Comfortable to hold. I only wish it was possible to have a tab to retract the blade in and out easily. The screw wheel takes a while to screw and unscrew. But I am still very happy with the product.

I was first introduced to these while employed in a digital printing and print mounting lab. These far surpassed using standard utility knives. Rather than having to take a knife apart to change a blade these allowed us to just snap them off and be ready to go within seconds. They also enable the user to extend the blade further out for cutting things like foam that has some thickness to it. I highly recommend them.

This is a sturdy, well-thought design. Feels solid in the hand with a nice rubber-ish grip. I use that term because whatever material they used has not absorbed a bunch of skin oil and dirt and is not deteriorating. The blades snap off cleanly. What's not to like?

The only utility knife to buy.

So far, I'm very satisfied with the performance of this utility knife. It has a very sturdy feel and seems to be well-constructed. The blade is very sharp! The only downside for me is the dial. It's a bit tedious to keep dialing it up or down to lock and release the blade. Maybe I'd be better off with the push button control. (Next time.)

I have a 25mm I bought at the big box store. I had been looking for the 18mm since I have a supply of blades from all the others that have broken. For some reason the box stores don’t carry the 18mm. These are great utility knives, as they are ergonomic and the thumb wheel lock is superior to all the clicker brands. Hands down the best one I have found so far

The perfect utility knife handle and blade combination.

I’ve been using this model for years. I love it and can’t recommend it enough. My only recommendation is be very careful while using in wet and oily conditions as these knives have no grip whatsoever. It’s a good size and weight and is extremely versatile. I recommend buying extra blades with the knife so you don’t need to run to Home Depot randomly in the middle of doing work. Another recommendation is try to keep it out of your shirt pocket as the blades will rust from condensation from your body heat.

Bonne prise en main je vous le conseil
