Curved Quick-Change Utility Knife, Stainless Steel Retractable Blade, 3 Blades, 6.5" Metal Handle, Black/Chrome

You know that old utility knife? This is gen 2 of that. And the changes they made make a HUGE difference. It fits the hand better, has a little thumb pad right above the blade that gives you way more control, you don't have to take it apart to change the blades and the blade storage is both easier to access and works better. Frankly, everything about this is better. It uses the same blades, and the same slide mechanism to extend or retract them. It's still heavy enough to give a donkey a concussion, sturdy enough to actually be useful and you won't need to end up wrapping part of it with packing tape to keep the two halves together because you dropped the stupid screw and your cousin Billy ran off with it. There is nothing about this that is a downgrade. Everything that was great on the initial design is either still great or is even better! 100% will buy this again. Because, like every other useful tool ever, someone's gonna walk off with it at some point. I'd stab them for it except they walked off with my knife!

Es simplemente Excelente. De Metal con mango de Goma, de muy buena Calidad y Resistente. Ideal para trabajos Pesados.

I've used Stanley Classic Retractable utility knives for years, I believe the model is 10-099, but I tend to lose them for some reason, though I've never, ever lost any other tool. They just seem to disappear. Also, it really is a pain, and just plain inelegant, to have to unscrew the handle, take it completely apart, then screw it back on just to replace the blade. So this Quick-Change model is wonderful: I had no trouble replacing the blades--but then, I had been forewarned by prior reviewers!. Otherwise, since it only ships with 2 cryptic drawings on the card that occupies the blade holder when purchased, I can see where it could be tricky at first. To restate other reviewers: the trick in changing blades, which is not in any way evident on Stanley's diagram, is to advance the top blade retraction lever PAST THE FIRST STOP, to the end of its travel. Then merely press the yellow button on the side, slide the blade in, and perhaps most importantly, make sure you have inserted it all the way, so none of the notches on top of the blade are showing. Otherwise, even when you retract it all the way, a very nasty bit of blade will still be projecting. Another tip: to open the blade compartment in the handle, press the button on the top rear of the handle. That will cause the bottom of the handle to swing down, lever style, on a hinge in the middle of the knife, providing quick and easy access to the stored blades. So, this is really a simple, very handy knife to use, if you follow the tips here and in other reviews. It also has nice hand grips added.

Poorly made junk. All the mechanisms on the knife are often difficult to operate. Moving the blade in and out is a chore as the pressure sensitive push-down button is finicky and at times very had to use. The blade storage is difficult to open 9 times out of 10, as well. Who wants to stop and play games with equipment in the middle of a job. Look anywhere but at this junky knife.

The curve handle is easy to hold. It’s a hard plastic. I wish it was a more rubberized plastic for a better grip. The blade storage mechanism works great and designed well. The blade replacement button will not be accidentally pressed as it’s designed ergonomically to make sure most of your hand remains on the curved grip. I’m not completely sold on the easy quick blade change buttons on many utility knives today but this one works well.

Good

Great ergonomic grip. This is a beefy robust step above utility knife that should last for generations as most stanley knives do.

I work in a warehouse as a shipping/receiving supervisor and as such I need a quality utility knife. I love this one, it has extremely sturdy construction, it holds the blade firmly, is easy change the blade out, and even has a compartment to hold extra blades, which came with two in it already. The slide is smooth with distinct notches and it has a great ergonomic feel in my hand. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a solid, reliable utility knife. The only negative aspects are that it doesn't have a belt clip (although it does have a hole at the back that you could tie something into), and the rubber stopper above the slide popped off about a week of use. A little super glue fixed that right up though.

muy bueno

Perfect for quickly breakimg down your Amazon boxes :)

I use this knife for almost 2 months now, almost daily, and it still works like a new, more durable than most standard utility knives. Happy with it.

I am not a heavy user of utility knives, but I wanted something that was a bit more substantial than the cheaper, almost throwaway knives - I've used up to now. Initial impressions are very favourable. I read the reviews on other supplier's sites and they are not universally glowing, but I am very content with the performance of the knife. The instructions to change the blade are not exactly intuitive, but a moment's study should get you going.

This product slider wont move when we put the blade in. We can't make it work. It was a Christmas gift for hubby. Very frustrating. Plus to get the packaging out of the item was so hard.
