Summary: Best Utility Knife I've ever used
Comment: I've used utility knives since I was a kid--I'd always watch my dad use them in his store and thought how cool they were. The ones we used to use were the Stanley kind where you had to use a screw driver to replace the blade.
I do a lot of online shopping, and I've learned to read reviews thoroughly... and since I've benefited from reading the reviews of others, I also want to give back and give my feedback for this product.
This was the first product that caught my eye when I searched for "utility knife," and that was because it's title was "Contractor Grade." The name alone should suggest that it's the best model of utility knife that they make--to me, I thought, "Contractors would use this tool for a living and to do their daily jobs." If this is what the pro's use, then it must be the best one out there.
So after getting the product and using it for about a month and a half now, I can say that this is the best utility knife I've ever used.
- Weight: It feels heavy and firm/sturdy in my hands, and not like a cheap toy
- Capacity: Holds 5+ spare blades in the storage compartment
- It cuts! It's also very sharp (but I guess that depends on the blades you get)
- Very easy to use
- String cutting feature is nice, but I don't use it very often
I feel like if I ever went camping, or was trying to survive in the outdoors, this is one of the tools I'd have with me, simply because it is so versatile.
I'd like to reiterate what another reviewer, Eric Pruss said: the instructions that come with this tool aren't very detailed, and I had to follow Eric's suggestions to be able to change and install blades properly. The key is that you have to put the blade switch all the way to the forward position, and then fully depress the yellow button when installing or removing the blade.
I highly recommend this product, and would by more of them if and when I need to.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Horrible design
Comment: Just received this knife. It jams very easily and the blade is hard to install. Opening the handle to get at the stored blades is cumbersome as well. Needless complexity. I have to get a band aid now, gotta go!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Thanks Eric!
Comment: Eric,
Thanks so much for showing me that. I haven't used it in awhile and I had not idea how I got the blade to stay in before. I got it now. This is a good knife once you get it all locked up exactly like Eric said.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Blade slips out of locked position
Comment: I like the retractable blade, but the notches that keep the blade in one of various positions are not adequate, and the blade keeps retracting.
Also, the access to change the blade and storage of extra blades are NOT obvious and are difficult to figure out.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not so 'instant'
Comment: While the tips presented by other reviewers work, at times, I still believe the instant change feature is not reliable enough. I've been frustrated too many times, because the blade won't come out easily. Then, when I try to change the blade like any other utility knife (by opening it up), I get even more frustrated because the two halves of the knife do not easily come apart. The knife wasn't designed to be opened, because it has the 'instant' change feature. When the instant change feature works, it's great; it just doesn't work 100% of the time.
