OLFA25mm Extra Heavy-Duty Utility Knife (XH-AL) - Multi-Purpose No-Slip Grip Utility Knife w/Reinforced Fiberglass Handle & Snap-Off Blade, Replacement Blades: Any OLFA 25mm Blade

The grip is nice and comfortable. The blade is stable when cutting through many layers. The blades are super sharp and great for cutting through chipboard. I use this for book binding and I cut many pages of paper with it. I get nice clean edges just doing small even pressured strokes.

I hate to say how many of these I have bought over the years. They are my favorite go to knife and I use it at least once a day. The snap off blade insure you have a sharp tip all the time. The knife itself fits my hand for a safe grip on it. Goes thru cardboard like butter and I would say it is my favorite all time too. I have tried cheaper brands but always come back to this one. I need to add a tracking device to mine, because I set them down and lose them all the time.

The ratchet mechanism on other Olfa knives usually requires two hands to really lock down. For that reason I tended to stick with traditional utility knives with the thumb slider.This knife has all of the advantages of the other Olfa knives but can be used with one hand, and the blade stays in place securely. The 25mm blade is extremely durable and I have never snapped one by accident. As far as I'm concerned, the traditional utility knives have been made obsolete by this knife.The handle is a bit chunky and rubbery, and I wish it was shaped like the standard rectangular ratchet-lock knives, but that's not a big deal.

The "ginsu" knife really is the way to go for a utility knife in construction. Having the extra blade length means you can saw through deep material and do flush cuts.However, I had to return it because the thing is so big it doesn't fit in my bags or my pockets or anywhere. Even the slim model has a grip that's a little too wide and 'grippy' to pull out of my tool bags and put back in, I was fighting it all day. I've used the BeWalt equivalent for years, and it's a little janky now. So I went for the upgrade and this felt better made, but it takes up too much space. It's also plastic and the BeWalt is all metal. The locking mechanism does feel very nice on this one though; much better than the BeWalt. Try the H-1 I liked that model more than this, but still returned both. If you're leaving it on a bench or in a drawer it's perfect.

The blade that came with this knife was very very sharp. It is useful for cutting sheet rock or other relatively thick cartoon or paper.

The feeling is very sturdy quality and blades are extremely sharp. I highly recommend that anyone looking for a really high quality cutter invest in these cutters

Good and solid, with a nice heft - feels good in the hand. If you use a utility knife a lot like I do, this is a very good choice.

I have bought a number of Olfa knives recently from Amazon, in a variety of sizes, and I am impressed with all of them. For years, I used either an X-acto knife or one of those knives with a retracting blade where unscrew it and take it apart to change the blade. These Olfa knives are much better.The knife with the retracting blade was annoying because the blade had a tendency to retract when you applied too much pressure on the blade and sometimes it was hard to slide the level for extending or retracting the blade. The Olfa mechanism is solid and keeps the blade in place but moves easily when you want it to. It moves with a satisfying click.When the blade tip gets dull, you can take some pliers and break off the tip as the blades are perforated, so you get a fresh tip, which means the blades can last for a while.These Olfa knives are very satisfying to use.

I have used all types of cutters, Stanley etc and none of them are equal to the Olfa. Solid build with easy to use blade adjustment. They offer a range of blades and they are all sharp enough to cut through thick materials with ease.

As it should be !

This is ridiculously sharp.Which is safer in the long run as you don't need to hack away at things and use excessive force thereby slipping and cutting yourself. Being this sharp, it also encourages a healthy respect in use. Nice grippy rubberized handle which is very easy to maintain a grip on.Mostly used for opening full packages and dismembering empty cardboard boxes. It's sturdy enough you could use it for cutting up old carpets or whatever.It's of the type that you index out just the amount of blade you need then when that bit goes blunt you can snap it off and dispose, indexing out the next section of sharp blade until you run out and replace with an entirely new one. Amazon also sell the replacement blades at a decent price.

Perfect for work

Great knife. I bought a Stanley Fat Max and replaced it with this as it’s easier to use, easier to change the blades.
