Amazon BasicsHeavy Duty Retractable Auto-Load Ergonomic Utility Knife 3-Position Locking Blade with 4 Replaceable Blades in Designed Storage, Black/Silver

Good value yet high quality item, having spent the afternoon chopping up boxes with it I can confirm that it feels good in the hand and made box disammebly a breeze.As you'd expect, the blades are sharp and the mechanism for replacing them is very straightforward. The design of the knife as a whole is pretty clever and leaves you with a nicely self contained device.After using it for several hours it wasn't too heavy or overly fatiguing to use for prolonged periods, it made the whole job a breeze so works very well. Given how sharp it was I didn't have to force it through anything so also feels pretty safe to use.

I have had this over a year now and it is still doing well , not yet had to buy any more blades despite it being in use for several heavy jobs , including cutting carpets up , and several of them too . also a lot of rubber mats have been cut up , still only on the 3rd blade .I can honestly say this is the best stanley knife on the market , I have bought loads of them over the years , some break as soon as you use them or only last a few months at the most . Very easy to change blades too , The one thing you do have to be careful with is it does have a tendency to pop open now and then if you hold it wrong , but as long as you are aware of this it isn't a problem as you soon learn to not make it pop open . , and i have never cut myself on it , so it's just a minor problem , but that is caused by the easy blade change button , i would still give it 5 stars despite that , as it is a very good quality , heavy solid tool .

Managed to lose my previous utility knife - OK, everyone calls them Stanley knives, but I am trying to be good! No idea where - really irritating. I needed a solid comfortable knife to precision cut feathers for my archery arrows.It feels solid in the hand - well for my hand, which are large, so if you have smaller hands, you might find this too big. The lever to push out the blade gives you the option to partially expose the blade which you might find useful. it does stand a bit proud of the body, but not enough to catch on things.The handle is rubberised, so if you really need to push hard I cannot see it slipping easily.There is even a small hole at the back of the body so if you want to take it on expeditions and want to secure it somewhere, get out your trusty paracord and make a quick loop, it'll be fine.There is a clip to push open the body to reveal the spare blades and for replacing them. There is a spring to push it open which I can see falling off its holding stub if you catch it, but it looks like it can be easily put back. The only slight issue I can see is that you might accidentally catch it and can potentially see blades falling out without you noticing.Inside, there are 2 clear notches to hold the cutting blade in place, so making it easy to turn it round and make the most of the blade sharp point at the other end.All in all, a great product at an excellent price, I can see it lasting for ages.

This utility knife is amazing! It’s super sharp, sturdy, and feels comfortable to hold. The retractable design with the 3-position locking mechanism works smoothly, making it safe and convenient to use. Perfect for heavy-duty tasks around the house or workplace.

For the price it's a great piece of kit. The extra blades are an added bonus and it can easily work on lvt and acoustic panels. Would highly recommend

As good as the really well known make. Very comfortable and positive to handle.

Much better design than old type, easier to change blades, quick designed feature. Quality manufactured heavy duty.

As a lifetime electrical engineer a 'Stanley knife' was either in my pocket, toolbox or hand every day. I must have had a had and lost/ had stolen literally dozens and I've tried most manufacturers models.I was just using my Amazon knife and thought that it was actually far better than the original knife. The fit of the two halves is better, with screwless fixing and the rubberised grips are a great improvement. I just checked and I've been using it regularly for 3 years now- so well and truly tested. Now all I have to do is teach the Mrs to put it back when she uses it!
