Summary: Best utility knife ever!
Comment: I'm just a homeowner and not a professional but I'm hard on my utility knives. I drop 'em. I break 'em. I lose 'em. I jam 'em. This is the first one that takes it all and just keeps ticking.
As others have pointed out, the blade is either retracted or fully-extended - there are no partially-extracted positions. So if you want a knife where you can extend the blade just an eighth inch this is not the one for you. But the action on the dollar knives that can do an eighth inch cut usually gets stuck after about a week anyway.
But it is sturdy, has blade storage (contrary to another reviewer - you can see the blade storage door in the picture), changing blades is screwless and very easy, the hard rubber makes it easy to hold securely and comfortably, and the 6 included blades are very sharp.
To me the best thing is the action - snap it open, snap it closed, put it in your pocket safely and pull it out next time you need it. Someone commented on the "close button" being tough to operate - if you gently squeeze the "open" lever while pushing the "close" button it works very smoothly.
I just need to spray-paint it RED so I don't lose it!

Summary: Fast knife and easy to operate with one hand, and Lifetime Warranty!!!
Comment: I bought one of these about 2 to 3 years ago and I use it every day to cut open boxes. It has been used hard and abused. I dropped it one day and it fell right on the open blade on a concrete floor. The blade no longer locked open, so I took it apart and tried to fix it. Unfortunately there is a small tab that broke off that I could not fix. So I order 3 more to replace it (we like them that much). When they came in I noticed that they had a LIFETIME WARRANTY. So I figured what the heck I would send it in and see if they would cover it ( I was not expecting it to be covered considering to take it apart you must cut the rubber backing and it was really BEAT UP )
Well today I just got a package in the mail. They sent me a brand new one. I could not believe that they covered the abuse that we put it through. I will definitely buy from Alltrade again.
The only thing that keeps this from getting 5 Stars is that some times when you are cutting something hard and you push the release button the blade will retract. So you just have to get used to holding it with out hitting it.
Customer Rating: Summary: Not sure if it's me or the knife
Comment: I just can't get the hang of this thing. At first, when I tried to change the blade it just spit them out on the ground. Now it won't change blades at all. It's also dirty from use, and I think that's jammed up the mechanism. So, for around the house use, it may be great. But on a worksite, I'm not so sure. Maybe I'll clean it well and WD-40 the heck out of it and see.
Also, because it's so fat at the cutting end, it's difficult to use a level as a cutting guide; you need to use a thin ruler or similar.
I prefer my little foldable utility knife; blade changes also don't require a screwdriver and are fast. And it's much smaller. If it only had blade storage, it would be perfect.
